    DATE VERSION CONTACT
    2024-04-17 2.30 Facility Advisory Board

    1. PURPOSE
    This Policy establishes criteria for Visiting and Transferring Controllers in the Los Angeles ARTCC.

    2. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
    The Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) for this Policy is the ZLA Facility Advisory Board. This Policy shall be maintained, revised, updated or cancelled by the ZLA Facility Advisory Board or any organization that supersedes, replaces or assumes the FAB responsibilities. Any suggestions for modification/amendment to this Policy should be sent to the FAB for review.

    3. DISTRIBUTION
    This Policy pertains to individuals seeking entry into the ZLA ARTCC as "Visiting Controller," or transferring from other ARTCCs.

    4. BACKGROUND
    The Los Angeles ARTCC wishes to maintain a concise roster of respectful, highly-motivated, well-trained, and experienced controllers. VATSIM has authorized each ARTCC to develop a policy, consistent with VATSIM policy, pertaining to "Visiting Controllers" and transfers into its ARTCC.

    5. REQUIREMENTS

    1. The following rules shall apply to individuals who are not members of the ZLA Controller Staff, and who are seeking privileges as a ZLA "Visiting Controller," or seeking to transfer into the Los Angeles ARTCC:
      1. The Visiting/Transfer Controller must be in good standing in their ARTCC of origin.
      2. Prospective visiting controllers must be aware that ZLA's training services to visitors are limited to familiarization with its airspace and local procedures only; teaching general controlling techniques, phraseology, etc. is the responsibility of a controller's home ARTCC.
      3. ZLA may, at the discretion of the ATM or TA, refer the Visiting Controller to their home ARTCC for remedial training if they lacks the basic skills necessary to control the airspace.
      4. The Visiting/Transfer Controller must comply with the ZLA Position Restrictions SOP.
      5. The Visiting/Transfer Controller wishing to plug in to any ZLA position designated as Tier 1 or Tier 2 must complete the requisite endorsement checkouts.
      6. Individuals holding the rating of "Instructor" in their previous/home ARTCC shall not use this rating in ZLA, and shall instead connect with their rating before becoming an instructor when acting as Visiting/Transfer Controller in ZLA ARTCC.
      7. All individuals must meet the criteria to obtain ZLA Operating Initials within 30 days following application for Visiting Controller privileges in ZLA, or transfer into ZLA.
    2. Individuals who wish to obtain privileges as "Visiting Controller" within the Los Angeles ARTCC shall take the following steps, in order, prior to plugging into any control position in ZLA:
      1. The candidate must complete the SOP Familiarity Course.
      2. The candidate must fill out an application from the Become a Visitor page on the ZLA Website.
      3. Study the ZLA Policies and Procedures.
