Answer: Control Tower Operator (CTO) certificate ratings are for Control Tower positions not Airspace Information Center (AIC) ratings. AIC ratings are issued on an Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) Certificate. Only experienced air traffic controllers would achieve a CTO rating within 3 months. An initial CTO rating requires a minimum of 6 months in training to become rated by FAA standards. IAW Army standards the AIC rating period is 4 months with additional training time extensions as required.
