The XA Division is participating in the GCA program according to R & R 5.1.7.

Any user who wants to control a FRA restricted position in the XA Division has to apply for an approval and be a member of our Discord.

For an approval the following requirements apply:

The user shall be able to perform ATC duties in English language. Knowledge of the local language is required.

The user must have knowledge of the LOA of the position required.

The user must have knowledge of the general procedures applied in the Division.

A theoretical and/or practical check may be performed.

The behavior of the user, especially in respect to other users, must be in accordance with IVAO and Division spirits.

The GCA will be shown in the user’s profile. It is shown by division, however if Division HQ allows controlling only on certain FRA positions, the member has to adhere to such restrictions. The user MUST control at minimum 1 position below their rating (IE. ACC rated users will open up an APP position or a CTR position), minimum position to be opened by any GCA would be an ADC rated controller and TWR will be the minimum position allowed at a pre-defined list of airports below. These rules exclude events, if you are assigned a position for an event much lower that the GCA rules, this is ok. Opening a position outside of our approved airports list will be deemed by the XA division a violation of our GCA agreement.

Any approved controller for the XA GCA program must remain active on IVAO and control a minimum of 3 hours per month.

The GCA can be withdrawn at any time by Division HQ if the requirements are not met.
