NOTES
1. Applicable to controllers without previous position
qualification (any facility) at the position under
consideration.
2. Applicable to controllers with previous position
qualification (any facility) at the position under
consideration.
3. When more than one approach control position exists
within a facility, the initial position qualification is allocated
350 hours. Subsequent allocation is decreased to 190
hours for each additional approach control position.
4. In cases where positions are combined, the maximum
training time shall not exceed the highest TTH for any one
of the combined positions.
5. RADAR Final Controller will reflect approaches vice TTH,
50 percent of which may be simulated.
Training Determination
The ATCFO can make the decision to terminate training during any stage if a trainee's
demonstrated performance indicates an inability to master the complexities of air traffic
control. You, as a Branch Chief and supervisor, are required to track each individual's
performance and their training hours and ensure that all performance is documented in
the individual's training record.
Before a trainee reaches 70 percent of the allotted time on a position, you need to
counsel the individual on qualifying. When the trainee reaches 70 percent of the
maximum allotted TTH/approaches/calendar day (whichever comes first) for the facility
assigned, a CEB shall be conducted and the following determinations must be made:
If performance is satisfactory, training will continue.
If performance is not satisfactory and unusual or extenuating circumstances have
occurred, the ATCFO may grant a continuance of training.
