It can be done in person or by video call, depending on the student&#8217;s availability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the VAC chart?<\/strong><br \/>The VAC (Visual Approach Chart) sets out the visual approach procedures for an aerodrome. It is worked through during the practical session as part of the realistic operation simulation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I need the radio operator certificate to take the STS?<\/strong><br \/>It is not a mandatory requirement for the STS, but it is highly recommended for any pilot operating in environments with ATC coordination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the difference between the theory exam and the practical session?<\/strong><br \/>The theory exam assesses your knowledge of phraseology and procedures. The practical session is a realistic aeronautical communication simulation where you apply everything you have learned.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fly in CTR controlled airspace and talk to the control tower like a professional pilot.
