1A.5 Activity Requirements #

1A.5.1 #

Controllers should{.red} maintain some level of activity and proficiency. The following defines actions taken following periods of inactivity:

• 30 Days: Written reminder of activity requirements

• 90 Days: Removal from IFATC and Discord, must{.red} complete the Initial Practical test to re-join (minimum of 30 days must{.red} elapse from the date of removal before able to complete the test - Controllers that are removed from IFATC for inactivity more than twice, are not permitted to rejoin - see 1A.5.2 below)

• 12 Months: Must{.red} complete the Initial Theory and Practical tests to re-join

For the purposes of activity, the ATIS frequency is not included, and therefore Controllers must{.red} control Ground, Tower and/or Radar positions to be considered active

1A.5.2 #

Controllers that are removed twice for inactivity will not be permitted to rejoin due to the strain this has on recruitment and training resources. This can be appealed with the IFATC Manager or IFATC Moderators and will be handled on a case by case basis.

1A.5.3 #

Minimum and maximum controlling times are enforced to ensure that pilots receive a good and consistent service. These are highlighted in the table below:

Controllers must{.red} ensure that the standard of controlling expected is maintained during long sessions, the maximum controlling times are cumulative and must not{.red} be exceeded in a 24 hour period

1A.5.4 #

Before opening a frequency, Controllers must{.red} ensure that they not only have the minimum time free but also have:

• An adequate amount of battery life on the device to be used

• A good/reliable internet connection
