Subject 6: Navigation (NAV)
Getting an initial understanding of the Navigation Systems in Air Traffic Control. SkyRadar provides simulators which facilitate the introduction and accompany the ATSEP step-by-step to the higher skills levels
The following match-lists relates the ATSEP curriculas by ICAO and EASA with optimized training solutions.
We follow ICAO's and EASA's pyramidal structure of
Basic Training is part of ICAO's initial training phase. Trainees are expected to acquire general knowledge regarding international and national organizations and standards (a); air traffic services, airspace standards, aeronautical information systems, meteorology and altimetry (b); CNS/ATM concepts (c); and human factors (d).

ATSEP Students shall get a foundation level of skills of the work as an ATC and the technical air traffic management infrastructure. The simulator contains set of standard equipments which allow to describe and explain components of the ATC / ATM work environment and their functionality, for the technical personnel as per ICAO / EUROCONTROL requirements, including normal as well as abnormal situations.. The seamless simulation of ACC, APP, 3d TWR and GND introduces into the complete process.
At the completion of the qualification modules, ICAO expects ATSEP to be able to explain the purpose
of each system, piece of equipment and their technical specifications. They must also be able to explain
the effect and impact on the service while working on these systems or equipment.
Being able to understand, describe, explain various aspects of VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range (VOR). SkyRadar provides a powerful simulator for VOR, DME and ILS. The first steps into these systems will be easy, profound and effective.
Being able to understand, describe, explain various aspects of Distance Measuring Equipment (DME). SkyRadar provides a powerful simulator for VOR, DME and ILS. The first steps into these systems will be easy, profound and effective.
Being able to understand, describe, explain various aspects of Instrument Landing Systems (ILS). SkyRadar provides a powerful simulator for VOR, DME and ILS. The first steps into these systems will be easy, profound and effective.

Being able to describe the operational requirements.
Unit training addresses theoretical and practical issues specific to the equipment and site of an operation unit. Unit training includes on-the-job training. It is in this phase that ATSEP competencies are trained and assessed. The level of training must be appropriate to the ATSEP profile but would not normally go beyond the replacement of the lowest replaceable module (LRM) or electronic boards of the system and equipment. Normally, unit training should not cover repair of LRMs or boards. If required, training for repairs should be conducted outside the scope of unit training. Unit training can be implemented at a specialized training center, at the factory, on site or a combination thereof. However, OJT should be conducted on site in the operational environment. As opposed to initial training, detailed training objectives are not provided for the unit training phase because it is specific to an ATSEP job, a system or equipment for a given ANSP. Thus, only generalized training objectives can be provided.
Unit training needs to be very specific to the location where the licence holder provides his or her services. The tower environment includes a simulator and an full operational system. Through modularity and adaptable UI, the real-life environment can be replicated. The operational system follows international standards. Simulated or life data can be fed in. Outgoing communication however is limited to communication with pseudo-pilots. Secondary radar interrogation remains simulated. In such an environment, ATSEP personnel can be trained closed to On the Job (OJT). The applicable procedures and escalation routines of the airport can be practiced without endangering real-life traffic.
SkyRadar's Multi-Modal Radar allows to set up configurations, similar to those found on site. ATSEP students can train maintenance, error detection and rapid recovery procedures.
This system trains related ATSEP competencies, without putting at risk the security of the operational environment.
Wherever there is a RASS-S system installed, this training solution is vital for unit training to train the technical solutions, available at the site. their maintenance, and rapid recovery in case of incidents.
There are three types of continuation training:
Refresher, emergency and conversion training need to reinforce existing competencies, build emergency competencies and update system competencies on a new environment. The tower environment includes a simulator and an full operational system. Through modularity and adaptable UI, the real-life environment can be replicated. The tower system provides such an environment, where ATSEP personnel can be trained closed to On the Job (OJT). The applicable procedures and escalation routines of the airport can be practiced without endangering real-life traffic.
SkyRadar's primary radar is ideal for refresher training. ATSEP-refreshing students can even access the radar remotely and can participate in trainings from remote locations or in dedicated time slots in the evening. In addition the system can be used in classroom and learning laboratory sessions. will support the rating endorsements related to primary radar. The radar operates in pulse mode at 24 GHz and provides very high resolution even at short range.
The ATSEP-students can accomplish skills on a real operational RASS-S environment, enhanced with pedagoical ad-ons. The RASS-S modules fully comply to ICAO requirements.
For refresher training, parts of the exercises can be provided browser-based over intranet or extranet to be used in self-learning phases.
SkyRadar develops and distributes radar training systems (CW, FMCW, Pulse, Doppler, Synthetic Aperture Radar, FMCW, MTI, MTD, Primary Radars, SSR, etc.) for universities and academies.
