TRACON track for new hires

[XL_ATC]

You certainly know quite a bit about us and the class.

Affirmative.

 

[SporadicVectors]

All were prior experience hires, originally assigned level 8-9 tracons.

Good to know, without a doubt that plays a role. Hopefully we keep getting more feedback from future classes.

TETRA is on blackboard?

All were prior experience hires, originally assigned level 8-9 tracons.

So they came from 8-9 TRACONs and are moving up?

No, they were all new-hires. On their way to first FAA facility.

It's a normal atc Academy class. In a classroom.

 

[SporadicVectors]

No, they were all new-hires. On their way to first FAA facility.

So they weren’t prior experience? Also, anyone have any idea when the next TETRA class starts and ends? Would be nice to hear some feedback.

 

[Cmsgthokage]

Ahhh, okay. So they gave them the option to opt into TETRA for N90 or any 10/11/12?

 

[XL_ATC]

We were all prior experienced. 7/8 were tower only experienced.

We were the first course conduct. If we got a passing score we had the option to take N90, which one person did.

The second course conduct is in TSEW and should move into TETRA soon. The first full N90 TETRA class is in RTF.

Prior experience CPCs or mil?

So from the that class that is in RTF and on, will the only option be N90 after passing TETRA?

the class in rtf is from an n90 direct hire bid.

 

[XL_ATC]

7 were prior military, 1 received a cto from a school and had a couple years of contract tower. No one was prior FAA.

And the N90 class is from the direct hire bid. The last word I heard is that class will be offered lower level facilities if they fail TETRA, but for later classes it will be job jeopardy.

That seems unfair but no one said it would be.

Can anyone speak to what the TETRA airspace looks like?

It's laterally the same as the TSEW airspace, but with different altitudes. 30 mile radius of airspace around the airport. It's a 2 airport class B with top of B at 10,000. Academy airspace is up to 17,000.
North and south feeders own the corners to the downwind, stepping down in altitudes.
North and south satellites own surface plus a few thousand feet depending on where.
North and south departures, depending on direction, own above or below the feeder/satellite airspace.
Final position owns the parallel finals.
Class C airport to the south.
Class D airport to the northeast.

The plan is to another Class D to the Northwest and eventually make the TETRA (airpsace) the standard RTF (airspace). If I remember correctly.

That airport is there for tetra.
Reese is the name, runway 4/22. It's a class B in tetra.

Yeah I thought they were going to standardise it for both though minus the volume for RTF.
