7 CAP 624 Part 5 Area Control Procedural Foreword 1 Introduction 1.1 Background This document is derived from the Requirements for Air Traffic Controllers developed for the European ATC Licence harmonisation project and has been updated to take account of requirements imposed by Commission Regulation (EU) No. 805/2011 laying down detailed rules for air traffic controllers licences and certain certificates pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No. 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council. These requirements are the outcome of a functional analysis of the controller's job, which produce a series of statements called Performance Objectives which describe the actions, behaviours or outcomes that the controller should be able to demonstrate. Each control discipline contains a number of Key Roles. For instance a key role common to all ratings is to Correlate information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flights. This key role is divided into two Topics, one dealing with Meteorological information and the other with Aeronautical information. Each Topic is then divided into Sub-topics, in this case to collect, to collate and to disseminate the information. Each sub-topic contains a number of Performance Objectives. Each Performance Objective is qualified by a statement of Conditions. Conditions describe the context in which the Performance Objectives apply which means in its simplest form can the controller act with equal ability by day or night, and in good or poor weather conditions? Finally the document contains details of the Essential Knowledge that is, the knowledge and understanding a controller needs to carry out the task. In order to separate aircraft, the controller must not only know the separation standard to be applied, he must also understand how to apply it. Similarly the controller needs to understand some aspects of the formation of thunderstorms in order to be able to predict their effect on operations and to make allowance for those effects when exercising control. Commission Regulation (EU) No. 805/2011 specifies in Annex II that compliance is required with EUROCONTROL s Specification for the ATCO Common Core Content Initial Training, edition of 21 October The requirement for the Common Core Content syllabus is designed to ensure that all ATC Initial Training carried out throughout the European Union (EU) is carried out to a given minimum standard. Initial training is defined as training conducted by certified ATC Initial Training Organisations on courses approved by the CAA. Initial training comprises basic training and rating training. The object of initial training is to prepare a student for unit training. These requirements, against which providers of Initial training are required to demonstrate their compliance, are published in CAP 794 Air Traffic Controller Initial Performance Objectives (due for publication at the end of 2012). Training organisations may also find useful EUROCONTROL s EATM Training Progression and Concepts, T38, which may be obtained from Eurocontrol IANS. T38 classifies the training phases for Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs) and Air Traffic Safety October 2012 Page 1

8 CAP 624 Part 5 Area Control Procedural Electronic Personnel. It defines the concepts used in the specification of training and in the support of training design. UK Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) may assume that the training received by any student licence holder who has received their training from a CAA-certified Initial Training Organisation will have completed the Common Core Content syllabus as appropriate to the UK environment, for example, legislation and UK-specific procedures. Such training will also be completed to the level as defined in the Terminal Objectives published for initial Training courses. These terminal objectives are published in CAP 584 Air Traffic Controller Training. CAP 744 Part 2, paragraph 6 details the procedures relating to the mutual recognition of Licences issued by other EU Member States in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No. 805/2011. It is important that ANSPs understand that a Student licence holder whose training has been carried out by an Initial Training Provider based elsewhere in the EU normally will have been trained according to the National requirements of the State in which the training was carried out. Similar considerations will apply to an ATCO licence holder coming to the UK from another EU State. It is the UK ANSP's responsibility to ensure that such a student/atco licence holder is trained in the relevant UK National requirements. ANSPs will be required to demonstrate that such training has been identified and successfully completed, before unit training commences. In this document, reference to the male gender should be understood to include both male and female persons, except where inappropriate. 1.2 Determining Competence by Assessment In order to determine Competence an Assessor (Examiner) seeks evidence of performance [Can the trainee controller actually do the job] both by direct observation and by reference to the training records. Assessment differs from an examination system, by taking a longer more detailed view of performance, rather than taking an intense but short sample of the trainees work. Performance is assessed in all areas under all conditions seeking to prove that the trainee can perform reliably and consistently to the required level of competence. Performance must be assessed against the Performance Objectives on sufficient occasions to ensure competence has been demonstrated across all the Conditions for which performance evidence is required. Where performance is tested in only some of the contexts in the conditions, the application of knowledge must be tested by questioning for the remainder. All items listed as Content must be tested to prove an understanding of the knowledge, the underlying principles and the application of the knowledge to performance in the workplace. A Trainee who demonstrates practically that he can do the job and can explain his reasons for acting in a particular manner, thereby demonstrating understanding, has fulfilled all the requirements without the need for additional written testing. It is essential that the Assessor (Examiner) determines understanding, rather than pure knowledge, when determining competence. 1.3 Summary of Terms Conditions Describe the contexts in which the Performance Objective applies. October 2012 Page 2

9 CAP 624 Part 5 Area Control Procedural Essential Knowledge The fundamental knowledge and understanding necessary to perform to the Requirements and to transfer the skills from one situation to another. Key Role Describes in broad terms, the principal components of the controller's job. Performance Objective Describes the actions of the controller that demonstrate the correct performance of the Sub-topic. Sub-topic Defines specific areas of the topic. Topic Divides the Key Role into definable common areas. 1.4 Language Proficiency The reader should note that language proficiency is a prerequisite to licensing and is included in Commission Regulation (EU) No. 805/2011 and ICAO Annex 1. UK requirements are detailed in CAP 624 Part 16. October 2012 Page 3
