I seem to remember reading somewhere that controllers have to practice no-gyro approaches every so often. Today, a tower controller asked us if we wouldn't mind doing a go around "for practice" (which we were happy to do). Are there actually things that controllers have to do to maintain currency, and if so, is calling a go-around an example? Is there a list of things that controllers have to stay current for? Because I'm really curious now.
