The ATCEA.com site has been around for about a year now.

It's been quite the year.

What began as a single page devoted to ATC training has evolved into an Air Traffic Control site that is growing faster than a summer lawn. There are now more pages than a phone book - OK, a small phone book - and there are new ones added every week. 

The ATCEA site is divided into many smaller sites. Some are for various countries, others are for specific ATC interests and there's even a page for "Life after ATC" for us old retired goats. I'm learning lots as I go about adding links, photos, audio and video clips and even an RSS feed. ATCEA.com is moving towards the goal of becoming the  ATC spot on the 'net.

This week also brought another first: someone not only offered to help, he actually helped! Andrey Zaitsev, a controller from Ukraine, has posted his Ukraine ATC page. He has added photos, put up local links and written local contact information. This is what the ATCEA site is about - controllers/experts posting information for all of us in ATC to learn from, be entertained by or simply viewed. It's also our way to let the aviation community, and the world, know about Air Traffic Control: our jobs, facilities, families and countries. I thank Andrey for his good work and I invite others to join us. Yes, it is a lot of work, and I know you're already plenty busy, but it is also very rewarding to know that you are contributing to the legacy of our Air Traffic Control profession.
