Purpose.

This change incorporates policies from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notices JO 3120.151, Air Traffic Technical Training at Special Event Temporary Control Towers, dated June 1, 2017; JO 3120.152, En Route Front Line Manager (FLM) Training Requirements, dated September 28, 2017; and the approved, but unpublished, notice to change Appendix B, Instructions for Completing FAA Form 3120-25, ATCT/ARTCC OJT Instruction/Evaluation Report.

Changes to Form 3120-25 and associated instructions resulted from a collaborative decision to focus attention on Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Top 5 safety issues such as misapplication of Instrument Flight Rules/Visual Flight Rules (IFR/VFR) conflict resolution, weather issuance, and Pilot Report (PIREP) solicitation/distribution during on-the-job-training. These changes add a new paragraph (5e) in Chapter 4, which addresses En Route FLM training requirements; a new Chapter 7, impacting technical training at special event temporary control towers; and a revised Appendix B, providing instructions for use of the newly updated on-the-job training report form.
