Controllers involved in other important tasks such as training (classroom and/or on-the-job), supervising, management and developing new systems need a minimum amount of working hours in the ops room to keep them current.
IFATCA Policy is:Each Member Association should agree with the appropriate Regulatory Authority a minimum of operational working hours, per rating, for their controllers who are involved in other ATC-related duties. The minimum operational working hours shall be appropriate for the workload of each position. The minimum working hours may be increased at the introduction of new procedures or ATC systems and/or at the instigation of an individual controller. |
