*** Shameless plug time ***
I know you are reading this thread and thinking “Man the world is a big place, I wish I could help out and join the IFATC team to give more support for global”. Glad you asked!
Review all the tutorials for ground, tower, sequencing, and patterns. Then feel free to reach out to one of the many scouts to fly for you and give feedback. Tyler has done many great videos that will greatly help you on your journey into being IFATC (It’s sort of like being a Jedi but no light saber).
Start practicing now, it wont hurt. Even though we do not know when global will come out, you do not want to be caught in the rush for scouting/recruiting/testing after the release. For those scared that you will have to relearn items for global, the core ATC concepts should not change when global is released, just more options of where to go.
If you have any questions feel free to DM myself or any of the scout team and we will be glad to answer your questions.
PS. Get into the habit of filing a flight plan. Plans help tell ATC where the demand is and should be more important once global is out.
