Subpart 69.G Training and Proficiency Requirements General 1. ICAO has devoted much time to the study of practices adopted in the training of technical personnel employed in civil aviation. Detailed information in respect of air traffic services (ATS) training is provided in ICAO Doc 7192, Training Manual, Part A-l - General considerations and Part D-2 - Air traffic controller. 2. Formal training of ATS personnel is usually carried out in an aviation training school established by the State or in a regional training centre established by ICAO. Advantages of a centralized establishment, where training courses are provided in a number of disciplines, is that much of the technical training space and many training aids can be more fully utilized by judicious course scheduling and specialist instructors can be used to greater advantage by time sharing, e.g. meteorological (MET) instructors can lecture to ATS, ATS can lecture to aeronautical information service (AIS) and search and rescue (SAR), and communications (COM) can lecture to all schools. The ATS curriculum should include the following: a. basic training; b. advanced training; c. refresher training; d. specialized training (radar, computer, management). 3. It is desirable that the syllabus used for training controllers be identical for civil and military personnel; the use of a common training school is also desirable. 4. A training school can also serve as an evaluation unit for development of ATS working methods, airspace organization, route structures and equipment. 26 P age

28 Formal Training 1. A curriculum for initial training of air traffic control (ATC) personnel may consist of the following: Unit Curriculum Training Period (approximate number of weeks) Formal training Basic controller 16 school ATC unit (tower / approach / area control Specialized training school training Familiarization and initial on the job training Control tower and approach control training Area control training ATC unit On the job training 12 Additional training Air traffic control 12 school system training Assigned ATS unit Further on the job training for local rating Max Synthetic training devices, mock ups and, where necessary, radar simulators for aerodrome control, approach control (APP) and area control centre (ACC), are useful training aids. Their use makes it possible to render training more realistic and reduces onthe-job training time On-The-Job Training 1. On-the-job training is aimed at permitting the new employee to integrate his basic knowledge with actual practice. It should concentrate on specific local conditions and offer opportunities to perform the functions of each operating or duty position under actual conditions and with adequate supervision. 2. Training of individuals should be a continuing process. Wherever possible, supervisors of shifts should arrange the duties of their personnel in such a manner as to enable a maximum amount of on-the-job training to be accomplished. It is desirable that as soon as an individual has obtained a rating for one position, training for the next higher grade should begin. By this means, a supply of adequately rated staff to fill vacancies at all controller positions can best be assured P age

29 3. On-the-job training is arranged by attaching the individual concerned, whether a basic trainee or otherwise, as a supernumerary to the operating position for which he will later be rated. He is then trained by the assigned occupant of that position, or by attachment to a training officer especially appointed for this purpose. Training is continued until the trainee has reached the standard necessary for the issue of the licence and appropriate rating. The training officer should certify the competence of the trainee before the licensing authority issues the licence and rating. The level of competence expected is that where the trainee will be able to operate without supervision. 4. Personnel who are transferred to units (other than to ACCs handling important traffic demands) are normally considered to have acquired the necessary ability to perform their duties after a minimum time of familiarization. Their need for on-the-job-training may therefore be significantly less than that required by staff assigned to a major ATC unit Proficiency Training 1. It is the responsibility of the unit chief controller to establish and maintain unit proficiency standards. Guidelines specifying the required level of knowledge both theoretical and practical should be formulated by the ATS authority. Guidelines for proficiency training assessment and evaluation are provided in Appendix A. 2. All operational personnel at a unit should be required to periodically demonstrate that their on-the-job performance meets the required proficiency standards. 3. At larger units, ATS personnel specially trained in on-the-job supervision and personnel training and assessment (evaluation officers), should be employed to carry out this task for a unit. Evaluation officers should prepare proficiency check rosters so that all staff are screened on a regular basis. Operating personnel should be given advanced notice of a proficiency check so that adequate preparation, mentally and functionally, can be made. 4. At smaller units, the unit chief controller or his deputy should personally perform these duties. Where arrangements are less formal, by virtue of the size of the unit and number of staff, it should nevertheless be ensured that proficiency checks are complete and thorough. 5. Should it be found in the course of a performance check that a controller is assessed as unsatisfactory, his rating should be suspended and an appropriate refresher and re-rating course arranged for him. Under no circumstances should any person assessed as unsatisfactory be permitted to continue on the job 28 P age

30 without supervision. If, after a reasonable period, a person is unable to pass the proficiency check, all details pertaining to the unsatisfactory assessments should be assembled and sent to the administering authority. 6. Unit chief controllers and evaluation officers should, at all times, be alert for signs of stress in a staff member and should not hesitate to provide relief. At this stage, an informal discussion by a supervisor with an employee can often avoid a progressive loss of confidence and ultimate loss of proficiency. It may also enhance safety of the operation of the unit concerned Management Training 1. Management and other advanced training for ATS personnel are part of a continuing training system designed to prepare suitable personnel for higher level appointment. It is unrealistic to expect that an individual controller who, by the nature of his job, is not exposed to management, organizational or administrative duties, will be able to assume these responsibilities successfully without adequate specialized training. 2. Previous knowledge requirements and suggested target groups for advanced and management training are as shown in Table: No Type of course Previous Knowledge Requirements 1. Periodic ATS Practical experience refresher training in ATS for up to five course years 2. Operational management course 3. Supervisory course Advanced knowledge in ATS Extensive experience in a wide range of ATC function 4. Specialist course Known experience and inclination towards the special field in question 5. Management course Practical experience in directing on ATC unit or in training Target Group Practising controllers who are on duty in ATS system Controllers due for promotion Potential candidates for supervisory positions Controllers intended to assume special function in ATS Unit chiefs and deputy chiefs, teachers, etc 29 P age
