1983/07 - Unifying Air Traffic and Air Defence
Year
1983
The formation of Air Force System Command (AFSC) unified Air Traffic and Air Defence Controllers, enhancing training at SCTS.
On 1 July 1983, Air Force System Command (AFSC) was formed, merging the formally distinct worlds of Air Traffic and Air Defence Controllers. This union led to the formation of the System Command Training School (SCTS), which was established at Paya Lebar Air Base. This enhanced training opportunities and gave Air Traffic Controllers greater exposure.
At the computer-aided instruction centre of the SCTS, trainees learned air operations technique through computer simulations.
