Question for the masses.
Are there any units out there that work 3 seperate Terminals/Approaches as part of their speciality or sector. My memory sucks, but I seem to remember there were a couple of guys at TC West Drayton who worked both EGLL and EGKK, and some Essex People who did EGKK. Just to clarify, here in Winnipeg Terminal Speciality, we provide a full terminal/approach service for Winnipeg, Thunder Bay and Saskatoon (the last two are Class E :rolleyes: ). You may be sitting Saskatoon, go on a break and come back and work Winnipeg etc.
The reason I ask, I have a few questions regarding the operation, especially any North American controllers out there.
Ta much.

Terminal Speciality
Sounds like a politically correct term for a learning disability.....

Well, one does TC heathrow as well, two do Gatwick and one does Luton. (Others training on heathrow/Stansted and Luton at this time)

Ok.......just because you asked so nicely Mr M.
The questions include currency issues (we have no "30 day" rule here in Canada), ab-initio training requirements (starting on a lower traffic airport or a higher one), and any other thoughts about what goes on.

Currency is a hot topic in TC - as the Non-watch (but valid) people now have to do a minimum of 18 hrs per month (I think on each sector) - an SRG reccomendation.
There are still a few Area people who do 3 sectors too.

We do it at quite a few places over here... SoCal approach, NorCal approach, Potomac Approach, the New York Common I to name just a few. It is probably going to be done more and more too over here.

And if you need help with numbers 10-20, Sesame Street is a good starting point.
