I'm staff these days, but management was still really cagey about letting me telework. Like, they wouldn't say don't do it, but it was never "yes! Stay home!" It was: "Well, if you have work that can be done, telework. If not, come in or use leave. " I'm thinking, what if I come in and don't have work that can be done? Why wouldn't I have work that could be done? I have a job don't I? What is it you think I do? Wait a second....Why don't you know what I do?!

Some of them might be, but the machine is way too big and stupid for it to matter.

Us staff haven't been told anything really. I schedule training for my facility. We're gonna have to play catch-up. Everything is so backlogged now compared to where we were in February. And they're still sending people to us. Folks are transferring and going straight to sitting at home.

Sagebrush posted:I guess you also have to memorize all the abbreviations for different airlines/callsigns too, huh? You tend to memorize the ones you need to use most often and either ask the flight crew or look it up when you encounter a new one. Bonus points when it's a foreign carrier and the discussion devolves into further misunderstanding through the accent-barrier.

The agency is trying to get remote learning set up asap to get classwork done in preparation for accommodating sims and OJT. There's a pilot program in TX to have controllers wear face shields to test whether or not they'd be helpful (?) in allowing OJT to resume. Who the gently caress knows, I don't hear anything until the hair-brained scheme is already planned and then we just try to roll with it

azflyboy posted:What are the requirements for how soon you're allowed to clear an airplane for takeoff behind another departure, assuming it's VMC, and neither airplane is "heavy"? Separation is determined, in this case, when you begin rolling. So, the timing should be such that you didn't start actually accelerating down the runway prior to the preceding aircraft "taking off," which is generally determined to be when their nosewheel lifts off the ground. The strictest application of this minimum separation standard does result in it being violated fairly often. Though, with obviously little safety risk assuming the preceding aircraft is committed to lifting off. It's not really possible to perfectly apply this rule to the minimum extreme without sometimes going slightly past the cutoff. No, that doesn't make it "right," or whatever. But it happens.

Sagebrush posted:What does this mean in the given context, It means he's a center controller. He doesn't "do" Chapter 3. (Of the 7110.65 ATC Order) (But he should do Chapter 5 when possible)

Sagebrush posted:so being cleared on while the other plane is still on the ground seems like a violation in that sense...but I can see the controller thinking "there's no way this 152 will catch up to that turboprop" and saving 30 seconds. In the US it's fine. It's based on when you start rolling down the runway in the direction of takeoff.

They are, essentially. And then some. You get your spool-up time, then you get your hours back that you previously used before training stopped. THEN you get your fully target hours back. Or so I've heard.

Radar rooms have some flexibility to provide lots of space, separation, and ventilation to increase safety. Which is why the FAA won't do it.

We've got the power to stop some of the spread due to travel. We won't. But we could.

Well the first few times you witness a crossover event with simultaneous parallel departures, you begin to understand the prudence of having a reminder. There's really no time to correct it if someone turns the wrong way.

azflyboy posted:At airports with closely spaced parallel runways, is there some kind of audible alarm that sounds if a departing airplane wanders into the departure path for another runway? There's a high pitched beeping that goes off when aircraft are predicted to be in conflict. It's a part of the STARS radar suite that ATC uses.
