Unfortunately, most TS1 controllers don’t know the proper procedures and have not gone through the skill test offered by IFATC to successfully run approach. That’s why you see so few and IFATC controllers don’t really control on TS1. But there’s good news!

Good luck and hope to see you in the skies 👊🏾
