Quick Checklist

When opening the position

• I know who is online above, below and beside my position
• I know which positions I will cover top-down (TMA diagram in the Terminals section)
• I know the transfer points and the restrictions in the operations manual
• I agreed with whoever was covering on when to take over, and received the traffic through the tag
• I asked about holds, restrictions, emergencies and pending coordination
• I announced on the ATC channel that I opened the position

Before each transfer

• The tag shows what I cleared: level, heading, speed and route
• What does not fit on the tag was passed in the chat
• The transfer started sufficiently in advance for the accepting controller to analyse it
• The aircraft is separated from other traffic at the transfer point
• If the next unit has no surveillance, procedural separation is already established

During the transfer

• I transferred with F4 and waited for acceptance
• Only after acceptance did I tell the pilot to change frequency
• No acceptance: I coordinated in the chat and kept the aircraft away from the boundary
• If the accepting controller requested a change, I applied it before handing over the traffic

When receiving a transfer

• I accepted with F3 or requested the necessary change
• I did not change the clearance before the boundary without the transferring controller's consent
• I confirmed contact and identification

Pocket times

When closing the position

• I told my neighbours a few minutes in advance
• I transferred each aircraft to whoever will cover my airspace, or terminated the service and told the pilot where to call
• No tag is still assumed by me
• I announced on the ATC channel that I closed the position
