Created by an ATC Trainee, ATCHOURS.COM serves ATC trainees everywhere by providing an easy to use and easily accessible system for tracking and calculating OJT hours.
Whether you're a brand new controller hire or a controller transferring to a new facility, a lot of your training time is taken up managing your OJT forms. As exciting as the job can be, the training end comes with a lot of paperwork that you need to organize and maintain. As the trainee it's your responsibility to ensure the forms are filled out and that all of the numbers are accurate.
We take the guesswork out and put your entire training record at your fingertips.

We are constantly developing and testing new features. We also listen intently to feedback from our users. If you think there's something our site needs, feel free to let us know.
9/18 | September Update
Our first big month is already half over and it's been a good one. We'd like to welcome all of the new folks who have joined us.
We continue to make updates to our growing site in order to improve our user experience. If you have any suggestions for things you'd like to see, we're all ears.
Site Updates: 1) We added a percentage bar to the position list on your My Overview page. This allows you to get a clear picture of how much of your allotted OJT time you've used for each position. Just make sure to fill out the "Max Hours" field for each position in the Position Manager. 2) In the Instructor Manager, we now have an option for deleting Instructors. 3) In the Position Manager, we added an option to delete Positions. Bugs: We had a few bug reports come in for things that slipped under the radar (ha ha) during testing. They were all quickly sorted out. If anyone finds any additional issues, do not hesitate to use the "Contact Support" link on your Main Menu.

8/14 | Interface Updates
Per user request, we've added a feature to our hours viewer where you can display daily totals of your hours, sorted by instructor. For instance, if you train on a single position twice - one being 0+45 and the other being 1+12, you don't have to sit there and add up 45+72 minutes. The site will display that total for you. It should make things quicker and easier.
To turn the feature on or off, click the checkbox towards the top of the page labeled "Daily Totals". It's to the right of the "Rows" selection box. |
7/4 | New Extra: Dynamic Banner
Let the world see your progress! The new Dynamic Banner is available for all members to use as a forum signature or a web site banner. Every time you update your hours the image is automatically updated with your new stats!
Access Via: Main Menu > Extras > Dynamic Banner |
7/1 | Add Hours Form Updated
Per user request, we've added a drop down calendar feature to our "Add Hours" page. This should make it easier for everyone to select relevant dates. |
6/25 | New Extra: Time Tracker
Display your training progress live on your web site. Available as both a blog widget and standard embeddable code, the Time Tracker easily fits in most blog layouts and web site designs.
Access Via: Main Menu > Extras > Time Tracker |
