TRACON track for new hires

[XL_ATC]

It's 35 miles, not 30. Other than that, it's what Stinger said. I can break it all down if anyone is that curious.

I’m curious as to what it looks like exactly. Is it subject to change?

 

[DankVectorz]

That seems unfair but no one said it would be.

It's cause the first few classes going through are the guinea pigs for TETRA. Once they validate it, it will be pass/fail

 

[XL_ATC]

It's unlikely that the airspace will change. We didn't have any critiques about it, and it's based on the existing TSEW airspace.

How were the final evals?

 

[XL_ATC]

6/8 of us averaged above a 70, and 4 of those were above 90. The course we went through was very manageable. However, due to some of our feedback some of the methods we were taught will not be allowed in future classes.

Is that a good thing?

 

[XL_ATC]

I can't speak for that either way. We were taught certain ways to manage finals. However, what we were taught was more to 'beat the test' rather than what applies to the real world. So future classes will be taught the real world methods. That might make the class harder but you'll also be better prepared if you're successful.

I looked thru the thread again trying to find out if the type of bid you guys got in on was prior exp all locations or prior exp direct n90. Really interested if it was prior exp all locations and they allowed you guys to opt in for tetra for any 10/11/12.

I currently have a 6.22 class date and I actually got in on this no prev experience bid.

Prior experience all locations.
Assigned level 8/9 tracons.
Offered the tetra track as a test class, with the option to select N90 upon successful completion.

So it wouldn’t be something offered to people coming in on the last prior exp bid then? Hmm

Only if you got selected for a 10-12 TRACON on your list. Otherwise prior experience doesn't go to the Academy.

Anyone have the RTF, TSEW and TETRA airspace maps? I know people say you’ll have plenty of time to learn it but it wouldn’t hurt to become familiar with it now. It would be REALLY appreciated.

You can learn it in a couple hour sounds . I wouldn’t worry about it

It’s not only learning it. Other things that I would want to do with it if I could get it.

That sounds dirty.

But if you don't know the LOA's and SOP's then having an airspace map is useless.

Haha not like that and ik what you mean and that’s true. Someone out there has to have both though...

 

[SporadicVectors]

Anyone have the RTF and TSEW/TETRA airspace map yet?

 

[Kappa468]

I'm sorry if this was already answered. Is there any plan in place to run CPC's selected on ERRs to higher level TRACONS through pass/fail TETRA?
