If none of your vast experience involves a major international airport, it is incomplete. There are times when flying into a big airport is just more convenient, such as for a business meeting at the airport hotel or to pick up a passenger arriving by airline. With a little planning and study, you can handle even the biggest airports like an old pro.
Preparation
Start preparing by candidly assessing your basic skills. Do you sound like a pro or a trucker on the radio? Can you simultaneously understand, copy and comply with rapid-fire instructions? Do you know airport signage like the street signs in your neighborhood? Do you understand wake turbulence? Can you manage wide, long runways as well as short, narrow ones?
