In this episode, I talk about point outs and why you should care about them.
I start with: What is a point out?
I give the definition you will get in the radar class at the FAA Academy.
I then talk about why it is SO important to you as a student at the Academy. I also talk about why they are so important at your next facility. Just remember: if the point out is NOT done, it is a separation error at the Academy, and an Operational Error at your facility. Neither one is good.
To show the importance of point outs, I relate the story of a student who failed by just 5 points on their last radar eval. In talking with them, they said that they were given a separation error on a point out that they tried to do. I'll let you listen to the story on the show, but they DID end up passing the Academy instead of failing.
I end by talking about how you will be doing point outs for your entire career, you just will. You might as well get use to making them. You will make and approve hundreds of point outs at the Academy. You'll do even more at your facilities.
