Hi there Speedbird:
I think I see how you work, all in all the procedures seem not that different:
what we here call approach includes the whole TMA (14 controllers, six of them on frequency).
Still, the main difference I see (and itīs a big one at that) is that here, for every controller on frequency there is another one monitoring his work in an adjacent screen, and doing the coordinations with the sectors involved (talking on telephone lines or just screaming
).
That makes, 6 on frequency, 6 coordinators and two on a break; changing positions every hour or so.
I understand you donīt have that coordination position?, and every controller on frequency is on his/her own?
Thanks for your support.
