ZFW CTLR PROVIDES FLT ASSIST WHEN 2 C152'S BECOME LOST AND DISORIENTED IN WX.

Narrative

3 C152'S DEPARTED SJT AND PICKED UP ADVISORIES FOR A VFR FLT TO FTW. TRAILED THE FIRST TWO AND DIVERTED INTO BWD BEFORE MY AIRSPACE. ACFT X AND ACFT Y ENTERED MY AREA WITHIN 1 MI AND 100 FT OF EACH OTHER; RADAR CONTACT WAS BEING LOST. ACFT Y CALLED FIRST. I ADVISED RADAR CONTACT WAS LOST; EXPLAINED MY COVERAGE; AND ASKED INTENTIONS. RATHER THAN CLB; HE ELECTED TO CANCEL ADVISORIES. THE PLT HAD POOR TO BAD ENGLISH LANGUAGE SKILLS. ACFT X THEN CHKED IN WITH POOR TO WEAK ENGLISH SKILLS. ACFT X ELECTED TO CLB BACK INTO RADAR COVERAGE (ESTIMATE 5500 FT). AT THAT TIME; ACFT Y CALLED AND ADVISED HE TOO WAS CLBING AND WANTED ADVISORIES. 1 MIN LATER; ACFT Y SAID HE WAS LOST AND REQUESTED RADAR VECTORS FOR BWD. HE WAS OUT OF RADAR; SO I COACHED THE PLT THROUGH THE USE OF HIS 1 NAV TO LOCATE HIMSELF OFF 2 VORS. HOWEVER; DURING THIS; AFTER TUNING IN BWD; THE PLT OF ACFT X SPOTTED A BEACON IN THAT DIRECTION AND MADE FOR IT; BELIEVING IT WAS BWD. I CHKED HIS INTENTIONS AND TERMINATED HIS RADAR CONTACT. (WE LATER DETERMINED HE LANDED AT COM (NE OF BWD.) AT THAT TIME; ACFT Y ADVISED HE WAS IN THE CLOUDS. ACFT Y IS EQUIPPED FOR IFR FLT; HOWEVER THE PLT ADVISED HE WAS NOT IFR RATED. I COACHED HIM INTO VOR TRIANGULATION; AFTER THE PLT INDICATED HE WAS 'OK IN THE CLOUDS...I HAVE LOTS OF TIME.' HOWEVER; DURING THIS TIME; I HAD TO CONSTANTLY ADVISE ACFT Y OF THE MINIMUM ALTS IN HIS GENERAL AREA. ACFT Y WAS OUT OF RADAR CONTACT ALL THIS TIME; AND WAS FINALLY LOCATED NEAR HAMILTON; TX; VIA 7700 SQUAWK AND ASSISTANCE FROM GRAY ARAC. ACFT Y WAS SWITCHED TO GRAY WHO VECTORED HIM TO LNDG AT HAMILTON. NO PLAN -- NO AREA KNOWLEDGE -- WEAK COMS SKILLS -- IT'S A MIRACLE THEY ALL GET OUT OK. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR CONCERNED WITH LACK OF SUPVR PARTICIPATION DURING THE ORDEAL. RPTR STATES THAT SUPVR INVOLVEMENT WAS NOT EVIDENT UNTIL APPROX 4 HRS AFTER THE INCIDENT BEGAN.
