Completion Standards: This lesson is completed when the student is able to supply a workable flow of traffic to the final controller. There should be no airspace busts and effective use of coordination to the extent necessary to ensure separation standards are met.
3.6.7 Lesson APP-6: Sweatbox or Live
In this lesson the student will demonstrate the ability to work a combined radar position at a Class C airport.
Planned Training Time: 120 minutes
Sweatbox Files: [APP] OGG-6
Tasks:
The tasks for APP-6 are those that are used during normal operations in a radar environment. The student will be evaluated on their ability to control the position solo and thus student should be able to control a combined TRACON with little to no intervention from the instructor.
Completion Standards: This lesson is completed when the student demonstrates the ability to manage traffic at a combined radar position at a Class C airport with minimal intervention from the instructor. The student must ensure separation minima are maintained, effectively handle arrivals and departures, and coordinate with adjacent sectors as necessary. Successful completion includes correct phraseology, timely handoffs, and a demonstration of readiness for the final certification exam. This lesson signifies the student’s preparedness to operate independently and marks the culmination of their training before they are signed off to receive their Solo Certification for OGG_APP.
3.6.8 Lesson APP-7: Sweatbox
In this lesson the student will be introduced to providing radar services to satellite airports. This scenario will cover uncontrolled airport operations, controlled satellite airports, and the sectorization of airspace.
