From reading this (page 61), I'd hate to have an IRS audit and try to
explain how flight training is directly related to increasing your

Flight training is a slam dunk simple example at increasing my skills as
a controller. We had an entire training program that let controllers
ride in the jumpseats of airliners, air taxis, etc.
