The Need for Training / Drill for ATC Controllers Preparing only a circular / manual for ATC is not enough to ensure the highest level of safety and preparedness. High Risk Area – more training is needed Low Risk Area – less training is needed The need to educate & conduct simulated eruption drills for ATC controllers should be a high priority item.
