The LTGs detail the reference materials and discussion items that support the Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSAs) that must be satisfactorily completed in order to assign the applicable qualification or designation. The LQSs are divided into KSAs. The time allowed to complete this T&R Supplement is defined by the ATC Facility Manual and shall not exceed the requirements of the T&R Directive. The actual completion data for each position qualification, to include total number of days and total number of hours, shall be collected and analyzed by the facility s training branch. These data support Continuous Process Improvement within the facility and aid in projects and planning at the regional level. Knowledge is checked with a written test. All Knowledge tests shall be completed with a minimum passing score of 80% prior to the trainee reaching 25% of the established OJT time limit. Skills and Abilities may be accomplished through OJT or simulation and shall be marked appropriately. LTGs and LQSs written in black are those required by the T&R Directive, those written in red are supplemental information specifically for MCAS Cherry Point.
