In the world of air traffic management, the training of Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP) is the backbone of safety and effective operations. The proper qualification of ATSEP professionals is vital for ensuring the safety, efficiency, and reliability of communication, navigation, surveillance, and technical systems in aviation.

To meet compliance standards outlined in documents such as ICAO 10057 and EASA Easy Access Rules ATM, practical training becomes a crucial element. This article emphasizes the significance of practical qualification and highlights the contributions of SkyRadar, a leading manufacturer of aviation training equipment, in meeting these requirements.

Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a crucial aspect of aviation that ensures safe and efficient movement of aircrafts in the airspace. The ATC service depends on a variety of equipment and systems including the electrical cabinets that house the power sources for the ATC systems. Electrical cabinet related errors can occur due to various factors which can result in power source errors that can impact the functioning of the ATC systems. In this article we will discuss the impact of power source errors due to electrical cabinet related errors on ATC and the steps that can be taken to prevent and rectify such errors.

To detect and remove/suppress the fake targets (range deceived targets) we implemented an algorithm for reflection power tracking. This algorithm consists of a search window of 5 samples and a tracking algorithm which tracks the return of reflected power within the sliding window (read the introductory article for reflection power tracking)

Air Traffic Control (ATC) services play a critical role in ensuring safe and efficient movement of aircraft in the skies. However, the increasing demand for air travel and the growing complexity of aircraft systems have put a strain on the ATC infrastructure, resulting in various challenges. One of the most significant challenges faced by ATC services is processing errors due to Defruiting . This article aims to explore the impact of processing errors due to Defruiting on ATC services, the steps to rectify and prevent these errors, and the factors responsible for them.

A digital tower is a concept that allows the provision of aerodrome air traffic services (ATS) from any location using digital means. Instead of relying on visual control rooms and human eyesight, digital tower technologies utilize digital cameras and sensors to capture surveillance of the aerodrome and transmit the images over a digital network to operators who view them on screens. The goal is to provide ATS from a remote location, centralizing resources and enabling more flexible operations.

This article introduces a "reflection power tracking", a statistical method to neutralize range deception. It shows a training implementation in FreeScopes.

In the context of remote air traffic control operations and service virtualization, legal considerations regarding data sovereignty and data regionality come into play.

Voltage fluctuations due to power source errors can disrupt Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems, leading to operational failures, communication issues, and compromised safety. Proper power conditioning and backup systems are essential to mitigate such risks.
