N90 CPC bid

[ekkojohn]

For the new hires going to OKC, if you don’t know already, NATCA has a monthly meet and greet there. It’s a good idea to attend that and meet Trish or Paul, whenever may be there. Probably a good idea to go even if your already a member.

 

[LadyLuck777]

If I remember correctly the N90 MOU says 3 months release date but could be up to a year with employee requests...

Yup, within 3 months or up to 12 months at the controller's request.

I'm still waiting on medical, I should hear back soon. Do you know what it means by TETRA will be online? Does that mean there'll be no instructor, just a 20 day online assessment?

Online as in up and running

 

[XL_ATC]

It means that the classroom portion is done via online learning (blackboard). There will be instructors in the labs.

Do you know that from first hand knowledge? Doesn’t seem right

 

[XL_ATC]

It is first hand knowledge. I'm in the test class for the new RTF, TSEW, and now TETRA. I have 2 weeks left of TETRA.

How’s it all going so far?

 

[XL_ATC]

It's going well. No one in the class had radar experience. We all have tower though. RTF does not really prepare you for TSEW, but if you do well in TSEW then you'll most likely do well in TETRA.

Thanks for the info appreciate it. Best of luck keep us updated please.

Awesome!

Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas facing tornado and wildfire threats

Anyone gonna be in the 5/2 RTF class?

 

[GulfBravoPapa]

It's Oklahoma... So far this week they've had rain, snow, tornados, and earthquakes

What do you learn in RTF? Is it all book work or do you get some lab time?

Then is TSEW, is that some final / arrival / departure style problems at a lower level and complexity?

Then finally TETRA, which is just a higher level and complexity then that of TSEW?

RTF is classwork and lab. Start with vectoring through a maze and work your way to Academy airspace running departure and arrival north/south

It's probably changed since I went through but tsew was a busy as hell four corner feed, final, departure. They didn't have tetra so I don't know what they do differently with that.

In tetra they work Finals, Departures, and Satellites. Airspace split up by sectors and altitudes.

 

[XL_ATC]

I guess it's all been covered.

Well of course it's split up by sectors and altitudes. How else would it be split up?

 

[Stinger]

With no altitudes. Where every position owns surface to top of airspace. Like RTF.

Have TOLs for the most recent bid went out yet?
