Narrative:

I was providing OJT from the beginning of this particular work session until approximately 5 mins prior to the incident in question. The traffic built to a complexity that I felt exceeded the developmental's ability. All of the inbounds were declaring missed approach, in addition to working the recovery of 2 flts of fgts, one of which needed to be split up and vectored for individual approachs. Another controller in the TRACON answered a call on the landline from cleveland center. He physically pointed out an aircraft on my radar scope that was approximately 20-25 mi ssw of toledo, nwbound, descending to 9000 ft (an small aircraft Y). I told the controller 'point out approved.' later, one of the fgt X, after another missed approach, asked if he could climb to 10000 ft and hold for WX. I was unable to climb him immediately. As soon as traffic permitted, I climbed the fgt X to 10000 ft on a swbound heading. After reaching 10000 ft, the fgt X was turned sbound to eventually hold south of tol TACAN. The point-out aircraft (small aircraft Y) was 3 mi southeast of the fgt X, indicating 10400 ft, when the fgt X was issued a swbound turn. The fgt X indicated he had the small aircraft Y in sight. The fgt X passed approximately 1 mi west of the small aircraft Y. I was working west radar, arrival radar, and radar handoff at the time. Additional manpwr at this facility would allow more radar/tower positions to be open and decrease the workload per employee.

Title: LTSS BTWN FGT VECTORED FOR HOLDING AND SMA CLBING.

Narrative: I WAS PROVIDING OJT FROM THE BEGINNING OF THIS PARTICULAR WORK SESSION UNTIL APPROX 5 MINS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT IN QUESTION. THE TFC BUILT TO A COMPLEXITY THAT I FELT EXCEEDED THE DEVELOPMENTAL'S ABILITY. ALL OF THE INBOUNDS WERE DECLARING MISSED APCH, IN ADDITION TO WORKING THE RECOVERY OF 2 FLTS OF FGTS, ONE OF WHICH NEEDED TO BE SPLIT UP AND VECTORED FOR INDIVIDUAL APCHS. ANOTHER CTLR IN THE TRACON ANSWERED A CALL ON THE LANDLINE FROM CLEVELAND CENTER. HE PHYSICALLY POINTED OUT AN ACFT ON MY RADAR SCOPE THAT WAS APPROX 20-25 MI SSW OF TOLEDO, NWBOUND, DSNDING TO 9000 FT (AN SMA Y). I TOLD THE CTLR 'POINT OUT APPROVED.' LATER, ONE OF THE FGT X, AFTER ANOTHER MISSED APCH, ASKED IF HE COULD CLB TO 10000 FT AND HOLD FOR WX. I WAS UNABLE TO CLB HIM IMMEDIATELY. AS SOON AS TFC PERMITTED, I CLBED THE FGT X TO 10000 FT ON A SWBOUND HDG. AFTER REACHING 10000 FT, THE FGT X WAS TURNED SBOUND TO EVENTUALLY HOLD S OF TOL TACAN. THE POINT-OUT ACFT (SMA Y) WAS 3 MI SE OF THE FGT X, INDICATING 10400 FT, WHEN THE FGT X WAS ISSUED A SWBOUND TURN. THE FGT X INDICATED HE HAD THE SMA Y IN SIGHT. THE FGT X PASSED APPROX 1 MI W OF THE SMA Y. I WAS WORKING W RADAR, ARR RADAR, AND RADAR HDOF AT THE TIME. ADDITIONAL MANPWR AT THIS FACILITY WOULD ALLOW MORE RADAR/TWR POSITIONS TO BE OPEN AND DECREASE THE WORKLOAD PER EMPLOYEE.
