Hello and welcome to the first edition of the ATCMH Regional Takeover series!
What is the ATCMH Regional Takeover?
The Regional Takeover is an event series held on the last Saturday of each month, highlighting different regions of airports around the world. All IFATC Controllers and Expert Server Pilots are encouraged to join us for these events as we aim to open as many ATC frequencies and build as much traffic within these regions as we can. We hope you will join us for this exciting series!

We assist with written exams, practice sessions, and mock practicals to prepare you for the IFATC local written and practical exams. We are not officially affiliated with the IFATC recruitment process.
A Regional Takeover will be held on the last Saturday of each month. Stay tuned to the IFC for the full event threads.
