text: AMC/GM TO PART ATCO REQUIREMENTS FOR THE LICENSING OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS SUBPART A — GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

text: GM1 ATCO.A.010 Exchange of licences

text: RECOGNITION OF LICENCES AND CERTIFICATES In accordance with

text: Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008

text: , Member States shall recognise: (a) air traffic controller and student air traffic controller licences, including their ratings, rating endorsements, on-the-job training instructor (OJTI), synthetic training device instructor (STDI) and assessor endorsements, as well as language proficiency endorsements and associated medical certificates issued by other Member States in accordance with this Regulation; (b) certificates of air traffic controller training organisations, aero-medical examiners and aeromedical centres issued by other Member States in accordance with this Regulation; and (c) certificates of completion of training courses issued by training organisations approved by other Member States leading to the grant of the ratings, endorsements and/or the student air traffic controller licence referred to in paragraph (a).

text: GM1 ATCO.A.010(a) Exchange of licences

text: EXERCISE OF PRIVILEGES OF THE LICENCE IN A DIFFERENT MEMBER STATE (a) Licences should only be exchanged in cases there is certainty that the licence holder is going to exercise the privileges of the licence in a different Member State other than that in which the licence was issued. (b) For this purpose, and with the intention of preventing unnecessary administrative burden, the competent authorities may require the licence holder, together with the application for exchange, to prove that he/she is going to receive unit training by an approved training organisation that truly permits him/her to exercise the privileges of the licence in that Member State.

text: GM2 ATCO.A.010(a) Exchange of licences

text: EXERCISE OF PRIVILEGES OF THE LICENCE IN TWO OR MORE MEMBER STATES In cases where privileges are exercised in two or more Member States, the agreement concluded amongst the Member States concerned should define the allocation of tasks and the responsibilities related to licensing.

text: GM1 ATCO.A.015(b) Exercise of the privileges of licences and provisional inability

text: GROUNDS FOR PROVISIONAL INABILITY Examples of grounds for doubting the ability to safely exercise the privileges of the licence may be that the licence holder is: (a) under the influence of psychoactive substances; (b) unfit to perform the duties due to injury, fatigue, sickness, stress, including critical incident stress or other similar causes; (c) not meeting all the competence-related requirements set out in the unit competence scheme.

text: Annex I to ED Decision 2015/010/R

text: GM1 ATCO.A.015(c) Exercise of the privileges of licences and provisional inability

text: In case of doubt about the medical condition of the air traffic controller, the provisions of ATCO.MED.A.020 should apply.

text: GM1 ATCO.A.015(d) Exercise of the privileges of licences and provisional inability

text: PROCEDURES The procedures developed and implemented to enable licence holders declaring provisional inability to exercise the privileges of their licence, to manage the operational impact of provisional inability cases and to inform the competent authority should include but are not limited to: (a) the processes to declare and terminate provisional inability; (b) an indicative list of cases when the competent authority shall be informed of the declaration or termination of the provisional inability; (c) the processes to inform the competent authority; and (d) the mitigating measures to be implemented to ensure sufficient capacity and the continuity of the service.

text: GM1 ATCO.B.001(b) Student air traffic controller licence

text: MATURITY OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS Persons who wish to undertake air traffic controller training at a training organisation satisfying the requirements laid down in Annex III (Part ATCO.OR) should be educationally, physically and mentally sufficiently mature. In order to assess their ability to complete air traffic controller training, training organisations may conduct aptitude assessments and/or set out educational or similar requirements which could serve as a prerequisite for commencing air traffic controller training.

text: AMC1 ATCO.B.001(d) Student air traffic controller licence

text: ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS COMPETENCE When establishing previous competence in a rating, the assessment should be based on the requirements set out in Part ATCO, Subpart D, Section 2.

text: AMC1 ATCO.B.010(b) Air traffic controller ratings

text: GM1 ATCO.B.015(a)(3) Air traffic controller rating endorsements

text: TOWER CONTROL ENDORSEMENT PRIVILEGES Where aerodrome control is provided from one operational position, this shall be indicated in the ATC licence by the issue of a Tower Control (TWR) endorsement to the Aerodrome Control Instrument rating. Aerodrome control may either be one operational position or be divided between two operational positions, Ground Movement Control (GMC) and Air Control (AIR). Consequently, the TWR endorsement entitles the holder of that rating endorsement to either provide aerodrome control from one working position or to provide AIR or GMC separately.

text: AMC1 ATCO.B.020(e) Unit endorsements

text: VALIDITY OF THE UNIT ENDORSEMENT When establishing the validity of a unit endorsement, the specificities of the unit and seasonal variations should be taken into account. Appropriate means should be in place to monitor the competence of the air traffic controllers. The means should be proportionate to the validity time. If the proposed validity time of the unit endorsement exceeds 12 months, additional means should be in place to monitor and ensure the continuous competence of the air traffic controllers. If the ATC unit is proposing to increase the validity time of the unit endorsement, a safety assessment should be conducted. The safety assessment may cover several units.

text: Annex I to ED Decision 2015/010/R

text: AMC1 ATCO.B.020(g)(3) Unit endorsements

text: PRACTICAL SKILLS ASSESSMENT FOR REVALIDATION OF EACH UNIT ENDORSEMENT (a) If the assessment of practical skills is taking the form of a dedicated assessment consisting of a single assessment or a series of assessments, the last assessment declaring the licence holder competent should take place within the three-month period immediately preceding the unit endorsement expiry date. (b) If the assessment of practical skills is taking the form of a continuous assessment by which the air traffic controller’s competence is assessed along a defined period of time, the formal conclusion on declaring the licence holder competent should take place within the three-month period immediately preceding the unit endorsement expiry date.

text: GM1 ATCO.B.020(i) Unit endorsements

text: COMMENCEMENT OF UNIT ENDORSEMENT VALIDITY IN CASE OF EARLY REVALIDATION For the purpose of establishing the validity period of the unit endorsement in case of early revalidation, the date of the assessment should be the date of the: (a) last assessment declaring the licence holder competent in case of a dedicated assessment; and (b) formal conclusion of declaring the licence holder competent in case of continuous assessment.

text: GM1 ATCO.B.025(a)(3) Unit competence scheme

text: MINIMUM NUMBER OF HOURS The minimum number of hours should be defined for each unit endorsement and it should be identical for each unit endorsement holder within the same unit. For licence holders holding more than one unit endorsement in the same ATC unit, the minimum number of hours may be defined as a combined value based on the assessment provided by the air navigation service provider. Nevertheless, maintaining competence should be appropriately ensured for all valid unit endorsements.

text: AMC1 ATCO.B.025(a)(5);(6) Unit competence scheme

text: PROCESSES FOR ASSESSING COMPETENCE AND EXAMINING THEORETICAL KNOWLEGDE AND UNDERSTANDING (a) The practical performance and skills should be assessed in live traffic situations. (b) Theoretical competence should be examined to ascertain the knowledge and understanding of air traffic controllers. (c) Subjects taught during refresher training such as standard practices and procedures, abnormal and emergency situations and human factors should be assessed on STD or in other simulated environments and/or examined.

text: GM1 ATCO.B.025(a)(5) Unit competence scheme

text: ASSESSMENTS (a) Assessments may have one or more components. (b) One component should be the assessment of practical skills; other components may be oral and/or written examinations.

text: Annex I to ED Decision 2015/010/R (c) Practical skills assessments should be conducted as continuous assessment or dedicated practical assessment(s). (d) Continuous assessment Continuous assessment should be achieved by the assessor assessing, during normal operational duties, the operational performance compared to the standard of the air traffic control service expected. Where the assessor has not been able to adequately assess the air traffic controller by continuous assessment, he/she should not certify the air traffic controller’s competence until a dedicated practical assessment has been conducted. (e) Dedicated practical assessment A dedicated practical assessment may consist of a single assessment or a series of assessments. To conduct a dedicated practical assessment, the assessor(s) should sit with the air traffic controller with the purpose of assessing, under normal operational conditions, the operational performance compared to the standard of the air traffic control service expected. The air traffic controller concerned should be advised that a dedicated practical assessment is to be conducted and be briefed on the conduct of the assessment. For those situations where an applicant’s performance cannot be observed at the time of the assessment (e.g. low visibility operations, snow clearing, military activity, etc.), the assessment may be supplemented by synthetic training device sessions and/or an oral examination. (f) The performance objectives’ topics to be assessed should be determined in detail by the air navigation service provider. Examples of performance objectives’ topics are as follows: — application of unit regulations and procedures (e.g. minimum separation standards, letters of agreement, Aeronautical Information Publications); — traffic analysis and planning; — task priority setting; — communication, including phraseology; — capacity and expedition; — accuracy; — initiative, adaptability and decision-making; — air traffic control techniques; — teamwork and other human factors skills; — the level of risk associated with the tasks performed (e.g. attitudes to risk). (g) Procedures when failing Notwithstanding ATCO.B.025(a)(10), when an air traffic controller fails in one or more of the components of the assessment, he/she should not be allowed to exercise the privilege of this unit endorsement, and provisional inability in accordance with ATCO.A.015(b) may be declared until a successful competence assessment has been performed. Resitting the full competence assessment or the failed part only may be required.

text: ASSESSMENTS Assessments should be adapted to the validity time of the unit endorsement of the ATC unit. The assessment of air traffic controllers at ATC units with seasonal variations should reflect the higher volume and complexity situations.

text: GM3 ATCO.B.025(a)(5) Unit competence scheme

text: ASSESSMENTS OF REFRESHER TRAINING SUBJECTS (a) Assessments should be conducted primarily on a synthetic training device or offline environments. (b) Assessments should be conducted by appropriately qualified personnel having detailed knowledge of: (1) the training objectives; and (2) the subjects, topics and subtopics being examined or assessed.

text: GM1 ATCO.B.025(a)(6) Unit competence scheme

text: ORAL EXAMINATIONS Oral examinations should be used to test understanding of applicable techniques and the rules governing them, particularly of unit and national air traffic control procedures. Scenario-type questioning allows the assessor to gather additional evidence of how an air traffic controller would react in circumstances that are not observable but are nevertheless considered important to the overall operation at that ATC unit. The oral examination should give a clear indication that the air traffic controller knows not only what he/she should be doing, but why he/she should be doing it. The oral examination requires considerable skills and it should be undertaken in a way to ensure consistency among individual assessors.

text: VALIDITY OF THE LANGUAGE ENDORSEMENT OF PROFICIENCY LEVEL 6 IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE When replacing the licences according to

text: Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) 2015/340

text: , the validity period for the expert level (level six) language proficiency endorsements shall be introduced into the new licence. The nine-year validity period for an expert level (level six) language proficiency endorsement in English acquired before 30 June 2015 shall be counted from the date of the issue of the new licence or from the date of the assessment, whichever occurs first.

text: AMC1 ATCO.B.040 Assessment of language proficiency

text: GENERAL (a) The language proficiency assessment should be designed to reflect the tasks undertaken by air traffic controllers, but with specific focus on language rather than operational procedures and knowledge. (b) The assessment should determine the applicant’s ability to communicate effectively using visual and non-visual communication in both routine and non-routine situations.

text: AMC2 ATCO.B.040 Assessment of language proficiency

text: ASSESSMENT (a) The assessment should comprise the following three elements: (1) listening — assessment of comprehension; (2) speaking — assessment of pronunciation, fluency, structure and vocabulary; (3) interaction. (b) The switch between phraseology and plain language should be assessed for listening and speaking proficiency. (c) When the assessment is not conducted in a face-to-face situation, it should use appropriate technologies for the assessment of the applicant’s abilities in listening and speaking, and for enabling interactions. (d) In case of revalidation of the language proficiency endorsement, the assessment may be conducted during training activities or on operational position, with prior notification to the air traffic controller to be assessed. (e) Irrespective of the way the assessment is organised, the requirements listed in (a) and (b) as well as the relevant provisions for language proficiency assessors should be met.

text: AMC3 ATCO.B.040 Assessment of language proficiency

text: LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY ASSESSORS (a) Persons responsible for language proficiency assessment should be suitably trained and qualified. (b) Language proficiency assessors should undergo regular refresher training on language assessment skills. (c) Language proficiency assessors should not conduct language proficiency assessments whenever their objectivity may be affected.

text: Annex I to ED Decision 2015/010/R

text: AMC4 ATCO.B.040 Assessment of language proficiency

text: CRITERIA FOR THE ACCEPTABILITY OF LANGUAGE ASSESSMENT BODIES (a) A language assessment body should provide clear information about its organisation and its relationships with other organisations. (b) If a language assessment body is also an air traffic controller training organisation, there should be a clear and documented separation between the two activities. (c) The language assessment body should employ a sufficient number of qualified interlocutors and language proficiency assessors to administer the required tests. (d) The assessment documentation should include at least the following: (1) assessment objectives; (2) assessment layout, timescale, technologies used, assessment samples, voice samples; (3) assessment criteria and standards (at least for the operational, extended and expert levels of the rating scale in Appendix 1 to Annex I to

text: Regulation (EU) 2015/340

text: ); (4) documentation demonstrating the assessment validity, relevance and reliability for the operational and extended levels; (5) documentation demonstrating the assessment validity, relevance and reliability for the expert level; (6) procedures to ensure that language assessments are standardised within the language assessment body and in the ATC community; (7) assessment procedures and responsibilities, such as: — preparation of individual assessment; — administration: location(s), identity check and invigilation, assessment discipline, confidentiality/security; — reporting and documentation provided to the competent authority and/or to the applicant, including sample certificate; and — retention of documents and records. (8) The assessment documentation and records should be kept for a period of time determined by the competent authority and made available to the competent authority upon request.

text: GM1 ATCO.B.040 Assessment of language proficiency

text: LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY ASSESSORS (a) Persons responsible for language proficiency assessment should be either aviation specialists (e.g. current or former air traffic controllers) or language specialists with additional aviation-related training. The preferred approach for an assessment would be to form a team consisting of an operational expert and a language expert. (b) Language proficiency assessors should be trained in the requirements specific to the language proficiency assessment, and assessment and interlocution techniques.

text: AMC1 ATCO.B.045 Language training

text: (a) Language training should contain communication in a job-related context particularly to handle abnormal and emergency situations and conduct non-routine coordination with colleagues, crews and technical staff. (b) Emphasis should be placed on listening comprehension, speaking interaction and vocabulary building.

text: GM1 ATCO.B.045 Language training

text: While it is true that many licence holders regularly have prolonged and extensive opportunities to practise — and so to maintain — their language proficiency, it is also true that a purely routine use of the language through phraseology, standard procedures and limited social contact only maintains a restricted core usage of the language which might be quite inadequate for managing unexpected and abnormal situations. Research shows that language proficiency erosion (language attrition) occurs rapidly over time; the lower the initial level, the faster the rate of erosion unless systematic strategies and a high degree of motivation counter this trend. It is very well documented that one’s language and communicative proficiency, even in one’s native language, deteriorates sharply under stress, therefore, it is recommended that licence holders participate in available language training.

text: GM1 ATCO.D.065 Demonstration of theoretical knowledge and understanding

text: METHODS OF EXAMINATION (a) Oral examinations and/or written/computer-based examinations should be used to demonstrate the controller’s knowledge and understanding. (1) Oral examinations The oral examination is used to test the understanding of applicable techniques and the rules governing them, particularly of unit and national air traffic control procedures. Scenario-type questioning allows examiners to gather additional evidence of how an applicant would react in circumstances that are not observable, but are nevertheless considered important to the overall operation at that ATC unit. Oral examinations will give a clear indication that the persons undertaking training know not only what they should be doing, but why they should be doing it. The oral examination requires considerable skills and it should be undertaken in a way to ensure consistency among individual examiners. (2) Written examinations The written examination is used to test theoretical knowledge and to a lesser degree the understanding of applicable techniques and the rules governing them, particularly of unit and national air traffic control procedures. It is easier to administer and to ensure the consistency of written examinations particularly when using multiple-choice questioning. Although multiple-choice questioning can test knowledge, it is not appropriate for determining what a controller would do in a particular operational situation. Written examinations can also be computer-based. (b) The most comprehensive method of testing the understanding of the person undertaking training, contrary to their possession of pure knowledge, would be a combination of written examinations that assess the knowledge of unit and national procedures, together with a separate oral examination which tests the understanding and reactions to operational situations.

(5) For those situations where an applicant’s performance cannot be observed at the time of the assessment (e.g. low visibility operations, snow clearing, military activity, etc.), the assessment may be supplemented by synthetic training device sessions and oral examination. (6) Dedicated assessments may also be conducted at any stage of training as detailed in the unit training plan, where a more definitive measure of the progress is required, for example after 50 hours of practical training. (b) CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT (1) Continuous assessment may be performed by the assessor observing the standard of the air traffic control service provided by those whose competence he/she will certify as he/she works with them during unit training or normal operational duties. (2) In cases where the assessors have not had sufficient contact with the applicant to adequately assess his/her performance, they will not certify the applicant’s competence until they have conducted a dedicated practical assessment. The applicant concerned must be advised that a dedicated practical assessment is to be conducted. (c) ORAL EXAMINATION (1) The oral examination is used to test the understanding of applicable techniques and the rules governing them, particularly of unit and national air traffic control procedures. Scenario-type questioning allows the examiners to gather additional evidence of how an applicant would react in circumstances that are not observable, but are nevertheless considered important to the overall operation at that ATC unit. (2) The oral examination will give a clear indication that the applicant knows not only what he/she should be doing, but why he/she should be doing it. It requires considerable skills and it should be undertaken in a way to ensure consistency among individual examiners.

text: GM2 ATCO.D.080 Refresher training

text: REFRESHER TRAINING STRUCTURE Refresher training may be developed and structured in accordance with the established duration of the unit endorsement it refreshes. This may mean structuring the refresher training in modular fashion. For instance, training in standard practices and procedures, abnormal and emergency situations and human factors may be given separately or integrated into any other modules.

text: PHRASEOLOGY TRAINING Training organisations should develop objectives for phraseology.

text: AMC2 ATCO.D.080(b)(2) Refresher training

text: ABNORMAL SITUATION AND EMERGENCY TRAINING Abnormal situation and emergency training should be designed to expose air traffic controllers to circumstances and situations which they do not habitually or commonly experience. The essential difference from an emergency situation is that the element of danger or serious risk is not necessarily present in an abnormal situation.

text: GM1 ATCO.D.080(b)(1);(2) Refresher training

text: EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION Communication misunderstanding is present in many air traffic occurrences and the consistent use of approved phraseology is designed to mitigate such occurrences. For the purpose of refresher training, emphasis is, therefore, put on effective communication, including the use of approved phraseology, both for the use of standard practices and procedures and for abnormal and emergency situations training. Effective communication should make use of a variety of communication modes, including the use of appropriate phraseology and radio communication. Phraseology and radio communication training is part of the linguistic training according to ICAO; radio communication phraseology samples offer learning opportunities and foster harmonisation.

text: AMC1 ATCO.D.080(b)(3) Refresher training

text: HUMAN FACTORS (a) Training organisations should train air traffic controllers at least in team resource management, fatigue management and stress management. (b) The team resource management training may also make use of STD and/or occurrence case studies.

text: AMC1 ATCO.D.010(a) Composition of initial training — General

text: GENERAL

text: 1. Structure of the basic and rating training syllabi

text: (a) The basic and rating training syllabi have been structured as follows: (1) The syllabus is divided into subjects, which are divided into topics that are in turn divided into subtopics. This structure serves the definition and classification of the objectives. There can be one or several objectives linked to each subtopic. (2) Objectives are assigned to a specific subject which deals with the knowledge and skills needed to accomplish the related subject objective. (3) Subjects, topics and subtopics are contained in Appendices 2 to 8 to Annex I to

text: Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/340

text: , and are repeated in: — AMC1 ATCO.D.010(a)(1) Composition of initial training — BASIC TRAINING — SUBJECT OBJECTIVES AND TRAINING OBJECTIVES; — AMC1 ATCO.D.010(a)(2)(i) Composition of initial training — AERODROME CONTROL VISUAL RATING (ADV) TRAINING — SUBJECT OBJECTIVES AND TRAINING OBJECTIVES; — AMC1 ATCO.D.010(a)(2)(ii) Composition of initial training — AERODROME CONTROL INSTRUMENT RATING FOR TOWER ADI (TWR) TRAINING — SUBJECT OBJECTIVES AND TRAINING OBJECTIVES; — AMC1 ATCO.D.010(a)(2)(iii) Composition of initial training — APPROACH CONTROL PROCEDURAL RATING (APP) TRAINING — SUBJECT OBJECTIVES AND TRAINING OBJECTIVES; — AMC1 ATCO.D.010(a)(2)(iv) Composition of initial training — AREA CONTROL PROCEDURAL RATING (ACP) TRAINING — SUBJECT OBJECTIVES AND TRAINING OBJECTIVES; — AMC1 ATCO.D.010(a)(2)(v) Composition of initial training — APPROACH CONTROL SURVEILLANCE RATING (APS) TRAINING — SUBJECT OBJECTIVES AND TRAINING OBJECTIVES — AMC1 ATCO.D.010(a)(2)(vi) Composition of initial training — AREA CONTROL SURVEILLANCE RATING (ACS) TRAINING — SUBJECT OBJECTIVES AND TRAINING OBJECTIVES in order to provide the reader with a comprehensive and unique reference document for the basic and each of the rating trainings. Subject objectives and training objectives are included in and form an integral part of each of the aforementioned AMCs.

text: Annex I to ED Decision 2015/010/R

text: Figure 1: Layout of syllabus

text: (b) The following principles may be applied to the development of a training course that is based on any of the syllabi: (1) The structure of the syllabi and the order of the objectives contained therein is neither intended to convey a pedagogical sequence nor to indicate a relative level of importance. (2) No objective from the basic training syllabus is repeated as ‘a refresher’ in the rating training syllabi. (3) The number of objectives contained within a subtopic does not necessarily signify how long it should take to teach that subtopic. For example, a subtopic containing five relatively straightforward objectives, may take a shorter time to be taught than another subtopic containing two complex objectives.

text: 2. Structure of objectives

text: (a) An objective consists of three elements: (1) The corpus, which is a description of the required performance. It always contains an action verb to ensure that the outcome is observable. The action verb is always associated with a defined taxonomy. (2) The level, which indicates numerically the taxonomy of the action verb. (3) The content, which may be implicit or explicit. The explicit content is written in the content field, while the implicit content is not but, instead, is implied in the corpus of the objective and other elements (syllabus, subject, etc.). Content that is a required part of the objective is written in the red shaded field. Optional content, written in italics, may be used if considered appropriate.

text: Annex I to ED Decision 2015/010/R

text: Figure 2: Layout of an objective

text: 3. Repeated and common objectives

text: (a) Repeated and common objectives are only applicable to rating training. (b) To the right of each objective, there is an indication of which other ratings contain this particular objective. If the rating is indicated in red italics, it notifies the reader that the objective(s) is (are) verbatim in each rating; however, the objective numbers are different. This indication is the first step to help the training providers in identifying the potential commonalities between the various syllabi. As a second step, the training provider must determine, at the level of local implementation, whether the objective is to be regarded as repeated or common.

text: Figure 3: Indication of the ratings that particular objective applies to

text: 3.1 Repeated objectives

text: All the objectives appearing in a syllabus are implicitly appropriate to this syllabus. As a consequence, objectives may be repeated ‘verbatim’ in different rating syllabi and nevertheless specify a different performance. The reader always needs to mentally add the sentence ‘in this syllabus context’ at the end of each objective. For example, the objective ‘use approved phraseology’ is repeated (same level, same corpus, same content) in all the syllabi but is different because the context is different in each syllabus (a learner able to use approved phraseology for en-route traffic will need additional training before mastering the phraseology in the provision of aerodrome control).

text: Annex I to ED Decision 2015/010/R

text: 3.2 Common objectives

text: (a) Common objectives are verbatim the same objectives that appear in more than one rating syllabi in the same context so that they do not need to be taught again in case of combined or successively organised courses. For example, the objective ‘describe the human information processing model’ is common for all the syllabi because the context is non-specific and is, therefore, not determined by the type of rating. (b) As a general principle, the rating subject Human Factors is identical in each of the rating training syllabi and can be considered as containing common objectives because the context is always the same. This means that the rating training objectives relating to Human Factors need to be taught only once. If a learner is acquiring an additional rating, he/she would not be required to repeat the Human Factors objectives.
