It is very difficult for ANY controller, civilian or VRA, to go to a LV12 facility and checkout. The chips are stacked against you and the FAA knows it. But, they can show that they have sent "controllers" to these places. At A80, Atlanta TRACON where I work, it would not be a stretch to say that maybe 1 in 10 will check out.

What is it so about Atlanta? Why is it so hard to check out there?
