SECTION II - CONTROLLER TRAINING AND PROFICIENCY RECORD
(DA FORM 3479-R)
A-2. Instructions for completing and maintaining DA Form 3479-R and DA
Form 3479-1-R (Trainee/Controller Evaluation) can be found in chapters 6
and 7. Figure A-3 provides an example of a completed DA Form 3479-R. The
following documents shall be placed on the right side of the folder from
bottom to top:
z DA Form 4186, Medical Recommendation for Flying Duty.
z DA Form 4186 for Grounding. (on top, remove upon receipt of up
slip).
z Tests (separate tactical from installation with divider).
Post trainees name, date, test subject, graders initials, and
SAT/UNSAT grade in bottom right hand corner.
z DA Form 3479-1-R (separate tactical from installation with divider).
Number the DA Form 3479-1-R with the last two digits of the
year and the number of evaluations given that year. (for example,
ninth 1-R given in 2001 will be numbered 01-09.)
Tactical DA Form 3479-1-Rs shall be a “T” in front of the year.
(for example, T01-09).
It is authorized to have both a tactical and installation DA
Form 3479-1-R numbered 02-01, with the “T” being the only
difference. (for example, T02-01.)
In section V of the tactical DA Form 3479-1-R, under the position
column, the type of facility shall be included with the position.
(for example, 71B FD, 7A FD.)

Appendix B
Publication Reference Files
ATC facilities use two types of reference files to support training and
daily operations. A facility reference file is maintained in the office of the
ATC chief/ATC SR SGT/PSG/ATC facility chief and in the company/
platoon headquarters.
(A single reference file may be used for dual
facilities.) The controller reference file, which is maintained in the ATC
facility, is readily available to the facility operating positions. The facility
and controller reference files are explained in chapter 5. Table B-1 lists
the publications that are required for both types (training and facility) of
reference files. Table B-2 lists the required maintenance publications for
installation and tactical facilities. An X in the reference file columns
indicates that the publication is required.

Appendix C
Facility Training Manuals
This appendix includes a detailed subject outline for an FTM that each
facility develops and an abbreviated outline for a tactical facility FTM.
These outlines cover indoctrination, equipment, responsibilities, and
emergency equipment and notification procedures. They also cover local
area information, reference material, coordination procedures, and facility
administration and management. Facilities will use only the portions of

Appendix D
Theodolite Operations
The accuracy of Theodolite measurements depends on the proper care,
setup, and adjustment of the instrument. Personnel must be careful
when removing the Theodolite from its carrying case and mounting it onto
the tripod. This appendix explains the correct procedures for setting up,
leveling, adjusting, positioning, and orienting the Theodolite. It also
includes flight check commissioning factors and preventive maintenance
measures. Figure D-1 illustrates the components of the Theodolite
(model 20-8400).

FM 3-04.303 (FM 1-303) ______________________________________________________________
SETUP
REMOVAL FROM THE CARRYING CASE
D-1. To remove the Theodolite from its carrying case, use the following steps.
(Refer to paragraph D-22 for instructions on replacing the instrument in the
case.)
Step 1. Place both hands under the base plate (the part containing the
azimuth scale), and slide the instrument out of its case.
Step 2. With one hand (reaching from above), grasp the two adjacent leveling
screws at the narrow part of the column and cradle the instrument carefully
against your body with your forearm.
Step 3. With the other hand, unscrew the baseboard.
MOUNTING ONTO THE TRIPOD
Note: When mounting the Theodolite onto the tripod, do not turn the
Theodolite by the upper part when the azimuth tangent screw is engaged;
this may cause damage to the threads.
Step 1. With both hands on the column, carefully screw the instrument onto
the tripod head.
Step 2. Remove the dust cap, and install the sunshade onto the telescope.
Step 3. Screw the tripod cap onto the baseboard, replace the baseboard in the
carrying case, and close the door.
LEVELING
D-2. Preparation for Leveling.
Note: Steps 2 through 4 may be omitted if the Theodolite is not positioned
over a point such as a marker stake or bench marker.
Step 1. If the Theodolite is to be located over a point such as a marker stake,
suspend the plumb bob by its string from the eye accessible through the hole
in the bottom of the leveling plate.
Step 2. Keeping the Theodolite approximately level (as gauged by the eye),
center the plumb bob over the marker by moving tripod legs.
Step 3. Accurately center the plumb bob over the marker by loosening the
two adjacent leveling screws and shifting the instrument laterally by moving
its shifting plate. If this moves the Theodolite too near the edge of the base
plate, reposition the tripod legs.
Step 4. Ensure that the Theodolite is approximately level (as gauged by the
eye).
Step 5. Disengage the elevation scale tangent screw by pushing it down.
Step 6. Point the telescope straight up.
Step 7. Reengage the elevation scale tangent screw by pushing it up.
D-2
____________________________________________________________
Theodolite Operations
Step 8. Lower the battery box to provide a better view of bubble levels.
Step 9. Disengage the azimuth scale tangent screw by pulling it out.
Step 10. Set the horizontal azimuth scale to zero degrees.
Step 11. Reengage the azimuth scale tangent screw by pushing it in.
Step 12. Loosen the lower clamp.
Step 13. Loosen the leveling screws slightly, and slide the instrument until it
is centered or until the plumb bob (if used) is exactly over the marked
observation point; then retighten the leveling screws.
Step
14.
Rotate the instrument so each bubble level is parallel to a
diagonally opposite pair of leveling screws, then retighten the lower clamp.
D-3. Procedures for Leveling.
Note: The proper Theodolite level is indicated when leveling bubbles are
centered and their ends are an equal distance from the corresponding
graduation marks.
Step 1. Using both hands, grasp one pair of diagonally opposite leveling
screws between the thumbs and forefingers.
Step 2. With a smooth and steady motion, turn the screws simultaneously so
your thumbs move either toward or away from each other. This ensures that
the screws are tightened or loosened an equal amount. The bubble will move
in the same direction as your left thumb.
Note: Do not loosen any screw to a point that will allow the instrument to
wobble on the mount.
Step 3. Using the technique in the previous steps 1 and 2, bring one bubble
near the center. Then move to the opposite pair of leveling screws and bring
the other bubble near the center. The bubble levels should now be nearly
centered, and all leveling screws should be fairly snug.
Step 4. To center the bubbles exactly, carefully adjust one screw (of a pair),
alternating pairs until both bubbles are exactly centered. All leveling screws
should be firm and both bubbles centered.
Step
5.
Disengage the azimuth scale tangent screw, and rotate the
instrument to exactly 180 degrees. If the bubbles remain centered, the
instrument is level.
Step 6. If the bubbles are slightly off center, center them again using the
technique in step 4.
Step 7. Rotate the instrument to zero degrees.
Note: If the bubbles are centered, the instrument is level. If the bubbles are
off center, a vertical axis adjustment is required. Refer to paragraph D-12 for
this major adjustment procedure.

MINOR ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION
Never sight the Theodolite on the sun without using the
special sun filter. The concentration afforded by the
telescope can easily cause damage to the eye.
Focusing
D-4. If personnel who normally wear eyeglasses can remove them during
Theodolite operations, they will obtain a greater field of view. They should
choose a distant, preferably indistinct, object to make focus comparisons with
and without eyeglasses. They should completely refocus the instrument each
time. Figure D-2 shows a cutaway view of the Theodolite optical system.
D-4

Theodolite Operations
Figure D-2. Cutaway View of the Theodolite Optical System
Cross-Hair Focusing
D-5. Sight through the eyepiece with the telescope pointed toward the sky,
and bring the cross hairs into focus by rotating the eyepiece by hand until the
cross hairs are seen with maximum sharpness.
D-5
FM 3-04.303 (FM 1-303) ______________________________________________________________
Telescope Focusing
D-6. Sight on an object at least 100 feet away, and focus on it by turning the
knurled knob until the object is clear and distinct.
Note: If an aircraft is to be picked up at some distance inbound, focus on a
distant object on the horizon. Check the focus by moving the head slightly
from side to side or up and down, while peering into the eyepiece. Focusing is
correct when the cross hairs do not appear to move across the field of the
telescope.
CHECKING FOR THE CORRECTING BACKLASH
Checking for Backlash
D-7. Sight the cross hairs on a target about 1,500 feet away or farther. With
the tangent screws engaged, rotate the tangent screws slowly back and forth,
one at a time, while looking at the target through the telescope. If a tangent
screw can be rotated without a corresponding movement of the cross hairs on
the target, backlash is present.
Correcting Backlash
D-8. Refer to higher echelon maintenance.
CHECKING FOR AND CORRECTING MESH
Checking for Proper Mesh
D-9. While watching the elevation scale, lift the elevation tangent screw
against the vertical scale ring gear. If mesh is proper, there should be no
movement of the vertical scale. Improper mesh of the azimuth tangent screw
will cause binding and undue wear.
Correcting Improper Mesh
D-10. Refer to higher echelon maintenance.
Note: The tangent screw fiducial marks on the stationary drum should be
visible when your eye is at the eyepiece position. The spacing should be as
close as possible without touching.
ADJUSTING DRUMS
D-11. Refer to higher echelon maintenance.
MAJOR ADJUSTMENTS
Vertical Axis Adjustment
D-12. The vertical axis is the axis of horizontal rotation of the base plate and,
consequently, of the telescope. The purpose of this adjustment is to make the
axis of each bubble level perpendicular to the vertical axis of the Theodolite.
That is, it makes the axis of each level exactly parallel with the plane of the
base plate. When the adjustment has been properly completed, the bubble in
each level will remain centered during a complete horizontal rotation of the
instrument and the axis of that rotation will be vertical. Each time the
D-6
____________________________________________________________
Theodolite Operations
Theodolite is set up, the vertical axis adjustment should be checked and, if
necessary, the adjustment made. Figure D-3 shows the vertical axis
adjustment.
Figure D-3. Vertical Axis Adjustment
D-7
FM 3-04.303 (FM 1-303) ______________________________________________________________
CAUTION
The vertical axis adjustment is a complex procedure that
should be performed only by operators who know how to
correctly make the adjustment.
Step 1. Set the azimuth scale at zero degrees, and leave the tangent screw in
mesh.
Step 2. Level the Theodolite.
Step 3. When both bubbles indicate the instrument is level, disengage the
azimuth scale tangent screw and rotate the azimuth scale exactly
180 degrees. If the bubbles remain centered, the vertical axis adjustment is
correct.
Step 4. If the bubbles are not centered, turn the adjusting screw at the back
of the levels so the bubbles return half-way to the center. If the bubble is
displaced far enough to be against the end of the bubble case, turn the
adjusting screw only until the bubble starts to move. Rotate the screw back
to zero degrees azimuth, and center the bubble with diagonally opposite
leveling screws. Continue this procedure until at 180 degrees azimuth; the
bubble is away from the end of the bubble case.
Step 5. Return the azimuth scale to zero degrees and adjust each pair of
diagonally opposite leveling screws to center the bubbles.
Step 6. Rotate the azimuth scale to 180 degrees. If the bubble in each level
remains centered, the adjustment is satisfactory.
Step 7. If the bubbles again move off center, remove one-half the error by
adjusting the bubble level screws. Return the azimuth scale to zero degrees,
and re-level the instrument. Continue the above procedure until the bubbles
remain centered for all positions of the azimuth scale.
CAUTION
Before making the correction, always re-level the
Theodolite and rotate the azimuth scale 180 degrees. To
avoid confusion, always level at zero degrees and correct
at 180 degrees.
Line of Collimation Adjustment
D-13. The line of collimation is a line through the optical center of the object
lens, the prism, and the cross-hairs intersection of the telescope. The line of
collimation should make a 90-degree angle in the prism. The purpose of this
adjustment is to make the line of sight through the telescope correspond to
the line of collimation. If the vertical cross hair does not fall on the target
after rotating
180 degrees and the apparent error exceeds 0.2 degree, a
correction may be required for precise azimuth readings. However, the
necessity for this adjustment is not as great in flight inspection work as the
elevation scale adjustment in paragraph D-14. The line of collimation error is
D-8
____________________________________________________________
Theodolite Operations
constant throughout, therefore this error is compensated for when the
azimuth scale is aligned to a reference bearing. If the line of collimation
adjustment is deemed necessary, refer to higher echelon maintenance.
Elevation Scale Fiducial Mark Adjustment
D-14. The purpose of this adjustment is to make the elevation scale indicate
zero degrees when the horizontal axis of the Theodolite lies in the horizontal
plane. This adjustment should be checked each time the Theodolite is set up
to measure vertical angles (for example, in glide slope flight checks). The
adjustment should be made if the indicated error, described below, exceeds
0.02 degree. Use the following steps 1 through 11 to measure the error.
Crosshair
Step 1. Set up and level the Theodolite.
Step 2. Set the azimuth scale and the elevation scale at exactly zero degrees,
and leave the tangent screws in mesh.
Step 3. Loosen the lower clamp wing screw and rotate the instrument
horizontally, while looking through the eyepiece, until you select a target
some distance away.
(This target must lie on the horizontal crosshair, be
well defined in the vertical plane, and permit re-identification.)
Step 4. Tighten the wing screw and adjust the slow-motion screw until both
crosshairs lie exactly on the target.
Step 5. Disengage the elevation scale tangent screw and rotate the telescope
180 degrees.
Step 6. Engage the tangent screw and set it exactly to 180 degrees.
Step 7. Disengage the azimuth scale tangent screw and rotate the base plate
to 180 degrees.
Step 8. Engage the tangent screw and set it exactly to 180 degrees. If the
crosshairs again fall exactly on the target, there is no error.
Step 9. If the horizontal cross-hair does not fall exactly on the target, turn
the elevation scale tangent screw until it does.
Step 10. Note the reading of the elevation scale. The deviation from
180 degrees is the apparent error of the fiducial mark and is double the real
error.
Step 11. If the vertical crosshair does not fall on the target, and the apparent
error exceeds 0.02 degree, refer to higher echelon maintenance.
POSITIONING
D-15. The Theodolite will be positioned according to the criteria for the
precision approach radar. Figure D-4 through figure D-9 show how to
position and reposition the Theodolite. If an aircraft equipped with the
automatic flight inspection system is not used for the commissioning
inspection, a Theodolite shall be used to determine glide angles including
lower safety limits. For a PAR facility performance evaluation, the
Theodolite is placed as close to the runway as possible. However, it must be
placed forward of the runway point of intercept
(RPI) to minimize or
eliminate the elevation difference between the RPI (touchdown) and the
D-9
FM 3-04.303 (FM 1-303) ______________________________________________________________
Theodolite location; this difference includes the height of the Theodolite
eyepiece. The touchdown reflector is usually abeam the RPI, but not always.
Aircraft operations will dictate how close to the runway the Theodolite can be
located.
Note: The elevation and azimuth scales are graduated in whole degrees,
whereas the elevation and azimuth tangent screws are accurately in degrees
and tenths of a degree.

ORIENTATION
D-16. The Theodolite is oriented on the actual glide slope angle (for example,
2.5 degrees) on the vertical scale when set up on the observation point and
viewing the approach end of the runway. The following steps will orient the
Theodolite properly.
Step 1. With a lensatic compass, select a prominent object; record its hearing
from the observation point.
Step 2. Place the Theodolite at the observation point.
Step 3. Level the Theodolite.
Step 4. Set the azimuth scale and azimuth scale tangent screw to read the
exact azimuth of the established reference point.
Step 5. Loosen the lower clamp and sight the reference point as close to the
vertical crosshair as possible.
Step 6. Retighten the lower clamp, then adjust the slow-motion screw until
the vertical crosshair is exactly on the reference point. Make the final
adjustment by turning the slow-motion screw clockwise.
Note: Because of the prism arrangement in some Theodolite telescopes,
objects viewed through the proper plane may be presented upside down.
When the aircraft appears in the bottom half of the scope, it is high. When it
appears in the top half, it is low.
CHECK COMMISSIONING FACTORS
D-17. Communications with GCA is essential during a PAR flight inspection.
Only on glide path calls shall be recorded. Calls inside of decision height
shall not be recorded. Radar shall be capable of detecting an aircraft a
minimum of 7.5 nautical miles from touchdown and within the azimuth and
elevation sector portrayed on the radar scope.
D-18. The flight check is a team effort; therefore, good communications is
vital. Aircrew members will continuously advise the Theodolite operator of
their intentions. The Theodolite operator should ask questions if there is
doubt, and request assistance if problems arise.
Note: To correctly evaluate the equipment, it is important to record at least
15 to 20 on glide path calls.
D-19. Three approaches for each runway and one lower safe check are
required for commissioning. The lower safe limit is normally 0.5 degree less
than the glide path angle; however, obstacle clearance is all that is required.
D-20. To evaluate bends on the approach, range shall be given at least once
per mile.
D-21. The Theodolite is placed as close to the runway as possible and forward
of the runway point of intercept. The locations of the marked reference
D-15
FM 3-04.303 (FM 1-303) ______________________________________________________________
points are calculated using the formulas shown below. Figure D-10 shows
how to determine zero elevation differences.
Figure D-10. Zero Elevation Difference Calculated
Formulas:
Opposite = Adjacent X Tangent; or O = A X T.
Adjacent = Opposite/Tangent; or A = O/T.
Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent; or T = O/A.
Example. A 5-foot/3-degree tangent (.0524078) = 95.4 feet. Therefore, the
Theodolite would be placed 95.4 feet forward of RPI.
Problems and Solutions:
With a 1,200-foot ceiling and a 3-degree angle, what is the distance? The
solution is 1,200/3 degrees (.0524078) = 22897.365/6076.1 = 3.76 nautical
miles. This is not acceptable.
D-16
____________________________________________________________
Theodolite Operations
With a 2,000-foot ceiling and a 3-degree angle, what is the distance? The
solution is 2,000/3 degrees (.0524078) = 38162.275/6076.1 = 6.28 nautical
miles. This is acceptable.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
D-22. Theodolite operators must keep the instrument clean and protect it
from damage through mishandling or neglect. Listed below are some of the
measures operators should take to keep the Theodolite in good condition.
ROUTINE CARE OF THE INSTRUMENT
z
Protect it from dust and foreign matter by covering it with the canvas
hood while it is left standing unused or by packing it in its carrying
case to transport it.
z
Inspect it for loose or broken parts after it has been used.
z
Take care not to twist off the brass screws when tightening them.
z
Occasionally wipe off the instrument (except for the telescope lens)
with a soft, clean cloth.
z
Clean the telescope lens with a clean, soft-haired brush, then wipe it
clean with special lens tissue.
z
If lens tissue is not available, use either a soft facial tissue or a linen
handkerchief that has been washed several times. Be careful not to
wipe the lens because the lens surface is easily ruined by scratches.
z
If it is necessary to clean the inside surface of the lens, unscrew the
object lens barrel, but do not remove the lens from the barrel.
z
If it is necessary to clean the lens, unscrew the eyepiece but be careful
not to touch the fragile cross hairs that are exposed.
z
If the silvered surfaces of the tangent screw drum scales and the
elevation scale become tarnished from contact with the operator's
hands, remove the oxidation by rubbing the surfaces with bone black
or by applying a few drops of clock oil. Leave the oil on the surfaces
overnight, then wipe the surfaces clean with a soft cloth. Leave a
very thin film of oil on the surfaces to protect them.
(The azimuth
scale is covered and does not require routine cleaning.)
z
Replacement in Carrying Case.
z
Remove the sunshade from the telescope, and place it on the
baseboard with the long side away from the center of the baseboard.
Place the dust cap over the object lens of the telescope. Fold the long
sights flat down.
z
Disengage the elevation tangent screw, and swing the telescope
upside down so the sights are on the bottom of the tube. Do this
carefully so that long rear right does not strike the transverse level.
Point the object lens up at about a 30-degree angle. Leave the
tangent screw disengaged.
z
Disengage the azimuth tangent screw. Unscrew and remove the
Theodolite from the tripod head, keeping one hand on the instrument
at all times. Cradle the instrument against the body with the
forearm while replacing the baseboard on the Theodolite by turning it
clockwise.
D-17
FM 3-04.303 (FM 1-303) ______________________________________________________________
z Rotate the Theodolite until the rear end of the baseboard slides into
the case and the wood blocks face outward. Reposition the telescope
slightly, as necessary, to permit the baseboard to slide all the way in
and the door on the carrying case to shut.
z Replace the screw cap protecting the treads of the tripod heads.
