Where should I visit?

I am currently working on my s3 and want to get an idea of which artcc I am going to visit once I earn it and get a little bit of practice in.

If you want to expand on your knowledge and skills, and are up for new challenges, I recommend that you visit those ARTCCs that have complex airspaces, such as ZNY, ZDC, or ZOA. These all have major airports that are very close to each other and get a lot of traffic (e.g. JFK/LGA/EWR in ZNY, or BWI/DCA/IAD in ZDC, or SFO/OAK in ZOA). This means you not only see a good deal of traffic and gain experience, but also learn how complex airspaces interact with each other.

Merik is very correct. Those ARTCCs have very tricky airspace systems in place and are a lot of fun. Obviously I have to through out my ARTCC here, if you want a challenge with MVA's and mountainous terrain, ZLC ARTCC is really the place to be. ZDV also would be a great choice with those aspects.

Good luck!

Visit ZDV, where real men control.

Visit where ever you think you'd have the most fun. If Los Angles sounds like a place you might enjoy, give them a try, or if Dallas sounds neat, try them. Ultimately it's your choice, so just try to pick a place that sounds interesting to you.
