The Planning Tool - Stay Ahead of the Traffic

The Planning Tool - Stay Ahead of the Traffic28. Sept.41 Min.

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” — Benjamin Franklin

Last week, we talked about using the Scanning Tool to continually update your Picture. But knowing what is happening isn't enough. You also need to know what you're going to do next.

In this episode, we add the Planning Tool to your ATC Tool Belt. We'll look at staying ahead of the traffic, thinking beyond your next move, having a Plan B, and continually adjusting your Plan as the Picture changes.

Don't wait for the traffic to force your next move. Have your next move ready.

Keep building your ATC Tool Belt—one Tool at a time.

Thank you all for listening!

If you are heading to the Academy in the next few months, I put together a structured 90-day preparation blueprint that walks you through exactly what to focus on each month before you go. It's designed to help reduce shock and build confidence before day one. You can download it at: sidebysideatc.com/page/blueprint .

I also have a video where I explain the different things that are on the enroute Non-Radar Map. You can get that video at: sidebysideatc.com/page/map-video .
