Heathrow AOM

My name is Matt Hardman. I am the Heathrow Operations Manager and I am responsible for supervising the development of all aspects of VAT-UK's flagship airport. This includes controller training, airport resources and the on-going improvement of the Heathrow experience.

If you want to train on Heathrow Aerodrome positions (DEL, GND, TWR) you will need to have already passed your tower exam in your home RTS. To train on Heathrow Approach positions you will need to have already passed your approach exam in your home RTS. It is also highly recommended that you have built up some experience before requesting to join.

Once your membership of Heathrow has been approved, you will have access to high quality training material, the best mentors and a team of controllers who always strive to be the best.

I look forward to working with you. If you have any questions please contact me by e-mail: Heathrow AOM
