No we haven’t gotten our list yet, we do radar problems 9A, 9B, and 10 on Tuesday though. 8 business days running problems until evals.Y’all get your list yet? Had a friend in that class but they ended up not going to okc after basics finished

14% isn’t really a “huge” chunk of the grade. Academics are worth more at OKC.There are obviously a few places where it’s still in use, but by and large, true non radar in the enroute environment is completely antiquated. Understanding the fundamentals and how to clear someone off a satellite airport is beneficial, but there’s no point in spending several weeks and a huge chunk of the grade at OKC for non radar. It’s a good move to phase it out.
It seems like now that ADSB is nationwide, any time a radar goes down, ADSB aircraft are exempt from non-radar routings. Secondly, if anything were to happen to ERAM the play seems to be: evacuate the airspace and go ATC-0. This day in age a lot of us (but not all) will never run non-radar.There are obviously a few places where it’s still in use, but by and large, true non radar in the enroute environment is completely antiquated.

When I went through OKC (admittedly quite a few years ago) non-radar was worth 14% of the total score, classroom academics were 20%, and radar was 66%:As of January, an Academy POC said final scoring was 10% academics/coursework, 90% evals. No say on whether the NR change bumps up or down either percentage."
I heard classes at OKC were delayed by around 3 weeks due to an instructor shortage, so might be a while until the next list is publishedY’all get your list yet? Had a friend in that class but they ended up not going to okc after basics finished
If I had to guess, I would say we will get our list either end of this week or beginning/middle of next week.I heard classes at OKC were delayed by around 3 weeks due to an instructor shortage, so might be a while until the next list is published
My lack of understanding of non-radar almost cost me this career. 14% was huge to me14% isn’t really a “huge” chunk of the grade. Academics are worth more at OKC.
I’m right there with you dude. Got a 47 in NR. Went into radar with 26.2 and made it with a little room to spare.My lack of understanding of non-radar almost cost me this career. 14% was huge to me
Like others have said, every percentage point is huge at the Academy. NR evals are the most points you can earn or lose in a single day other than radar evals. There’s a bunch of people that end up failing by a couple of points, sometimes less than a single percentage point, and NR played a big factor in many of those failures. Perhaps the agency is realizing a near 50% washout rate in OKC is only making the staffing crisis worse.14% isn’t really a “huge” chunk of the grade. Academics are worth more at OKC.
Best of luck!! Rock that shit out!!No we haven’t gotten our list yet, we do radar problems 9A, 9B, and 10 on Tuesday though. 8 business days running problems until evals.
This is why academics is critical. I averaged a 97 on all the book stuff. Also helped I got an 88 on my final radar eval and was much better at radar than NR. The scope and how do to a proper scan clicked for me a few days into labs. Finished OKC with a 72.6.Like others have said, every percentage point is huge at the Academy.

You forgot your damn meatball didn’t you!?!?!?This is why academics is critical. I averaged a 97 on all the book stuff.

NR was the opposite. It just never really clicked. I didn’t too terrible on my first run (57), but I completely bombed my second one with a 37 haha. Just couldn’t get that Vicksburg bay down.
No I just “didn’t do a very good job of separating the aircraft”You forgot your damn meatball didn’t you!?!?!?
You think that’s bad my first assignment was at a center with a full old school non radar sector. They sat me down and gave me a grease pencil and ruler and said go get ‘em.My lack of understanding of non-radar almost cost me this career. 14% was huge to me

I’m curious to know if my class will be effected. I start basics 2/27Yes, I’m here now and done on March 6th. It’s a fact. I’m not sure which class is the first or will be the first effected. I think the first one effected is already here but not 100% because we’ve been on nights the past 3 weeks.
You probably will, I’ve heard from a couple of people, starting in OKC 3/1 or after will be affected, but we’ll see, you all know the FAAI’m curious to know if my class will be effected. I start basics 2/27
Ya’ll get your list today?You probably will, I’ve heard from a couple of people, starting in OKC 3/1 or after will be affected, but we’ll see, you all know the FAA
We got our list at the end of the day today, my classmates wish to keep it to ourselves for now, I’ll let you know when/if they change their minds but there are a lot of duplicates. 14/16 are duplicates.Ya’ll get your list today?
Ha management written all over that classWe got our list at the end of the day today, my classmates wish to keep it to ourselves for now, I’ll let you know when/if they change their minds but their are a lot of duplicates. 14/16 are duplicates.
