Introduction
Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP) refers to the specialists who collectively provide the development management and support of the Electronics and software on which the Air Traffic System Framework is built and functions.
The ATSEP group includers managers. engineers, technicians, as well as both computer hardware and software specialists.
Specific functions of the ATSEP group includes equipment specification, Installations and commissioning including testing and certification, Maintenance & Calibration of Air Traffic Control (ATC) equipment’s
As with all aviation groups sufficient focus must be placed on the minimization of human error exposure as well as sufficient attention to the safety system oversight and effectiveness of the technical process delivery.
It is essential that competence is managed in accordance with recommended standards and practices and this course provides delegates with a basic knowledge focused on the Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) environment.
The training content is focused on ensuring compliance with the objectives of ICAO & EASA
Who is the course for?
The course is designed for individuals who want to gain a basic understanding of the roles and responsibilities of an ATSEP and acquire the fundamental technical skills necessary to work in this field.
What is the Benefit of this Training – What will I learn?
a) Understand the regulatory Framework related to ATSEP
b) Be able to measure ATSEP Performance
c) Understand and Explain the organisation of Aeronautical Information Service (AIS)
d) Explain ATSEP System Monitoring & Control (SMC)
e) Be able to explain the role of ATC in the Air Traffic Management (ATM) environment
f) Understand the role of meteorology and meteorological information in ATM related to aircraft and ATS operations.
g) Awareness of principles used in Voice & Data Communications and navigation aids
