Shanwick Oceanic Currency Changes

After discussion amongst the DSG, it has been decided that UK Visiting Controllers who are only permitted to control Shanwick positions will be exempted from quarterly activity requirements effective immediately. Practically speaking, this means that Shanwick only visitors will not fall inactive on our controller roster. If you believe you meet this requirement and have been erroneously marked as inactive, please get in touch with the Member Services Department via the Helpdesk who will be able to assist you.

Oceanic positions are not popular and we recognise that visitors who only control Shanwick are disadvantaged in comparison to home members that retain their Shanwick permissions through controlling UK domestic airspace. As a majority of both home and visiting controllers only control Oceanic positions for events such as Cross the Pond, it was decided that activity requirements and reactivation processes are of little benefit. 

UK Home Members with a Shanwick Endorsement and Visiting Controllers who can, in addition to Shanwick, control other ‘domestic’ positions within the UK remain unaffected by this change, and they must still obtain 3 hours in a fixed quarterly period in order to remain active on the controller roster.
