[JYO] Vint Hill TRACON

Effective this Sunday 9/22/02 the FAA will make a definite change in their 
daily ops in preparation for the Vint Hill Tracon move early next year.  The 
present Tower personnel will be divided into two separate units - one TRACON 
Team and one Tower Team. The team personnel will not swap out positions but 
be exclusively dedicated to working the "screens in radar" or "pushing planes 
from the Tower."   In Feb 2003,  the TRACON crew will relocate to Vint Hill 
Farm TRACON in Va for the long planned combining of the BWI, ADW, IAD, DCA, 
and HEF tracon personnel. Nothing will change for top Mgrs at FAA locally - 
DS, JS, BS or BL, will still retain FAA mgmt control.  Expect new additional 
supervisors coming on board to be TRACON or TOWER Duty Supervisors.  In the 
past the Duty Supervisor has traditionally been in the Tracon for both Twr & 
TRACON.  Be flexible!
