17 Jan 13 - HAAF CTO Traning

Question: Can folks be CTO certified w/ 3 months of training?

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.

17 Jan 13 - HAAF Base Ops Cross Training

Question: Can we cross train personnel at base ops to do "flight following"?

Answer: No, the Current Army requirement is that AICs must be staffed by qualified air traffic controllers. Air Traffic Assistants (GS-2154) are not air traffic controllers (GS-2152). Base Ops GS-2154-8 air traffic assistants have not been screened for qualifications of ATC positions. i.e. must have completed training in a recognized ATC course of instruction (i.e. US Army or other DoD  ATC School), possess ATC Specialist Certificate (ATCS Card) with previous facility ratings, be on flight status and possess a current Class IV ATC flight physical, meet maximum age restriction of 36 for initial entry into ATC duties (or possess an age waiver to perform ATC duties), etc.
