The tracon gets a terrain multiplier

Are you referring to their tracon count in terms of the TCI? I’m curious why the tower doesn’t get it when there’s mountains in the aerodrome and it affects their side of complexity too.

 

[the inquirer]

It’s absolutely criminal that ASE doesn’t get a terrain multiplier either because that would help. They literally are a TRACAB for constant ODO ops departing one way and landing the other due to mountains right off the field.

Every even hour should be arrivals and every odd hour departures.

I have a question about the bonus. I know someone who is at their first facility, a center. They were checked out on a couple of R-sides when this MOU was signed. They did not get the $ 5,000 bonus check within 30 days of the signing of the MOU. They have since fully certified in their area. They asked about the bonus and this is what they are being told:

I won't get bonus. I was asking around and if you have any d sides it counts as a facility rating. If you go to the faa order 8000.90 en route is rated when they get positions after a side basically. Over in tower do they need to be fully checked out before rated.

From my understanding, the 8000.90, when you get your first 2 D-sides, you are credentialed, not facility/area certified.

From my understanding, they should fall under the Academy Graduate (AG) definition and should get the bonus under section 2. Any thoughts or suggestions?

The mou says if they are a bue at the AG level at the time of the agreement, they get it. If you are a DEV1, 2, or 3, then you are no longer at the AG level.

When you look at the definition of AG in the MOU it says:

Academy Graduate (AG) is defined as an air traffic controller in training at a field facility who
has never been facility certified in a terminal or en route air traffic control facility in the FAA.

The key for how the MOU defines a AG is they have never been facility certified. I understand this is not per the 3120.4, but it’s how they defined it for this MOU.
