In terms of ATC operations, the first assessment highlights that: The level of ATC operations is quite satisfactory in the beneficiary countries with different level of development between Eurocontrol members, ECAC members and Central asia countries which are, for some of them, still in transition from the former Russian system to ICAO and European frameworks, There are some important differences regarding ATC training organisations as all the countries do not benefit from the same facilities, means and needs, The Safety Oversight process has been initiated in all the countries, with unbalanced development levels

13 Training of operational air transport control staff of South Ring States Progress Report 1 31st January 2008 Each mission gave rise to a specific report, detailing the meetings organised, the contacts established as well as the type of data collected. These reports are provided in the annex. Note: Due to some delay in visa procurement, mission to Turkmenistan has been postponed to February Meeting with ICAO s Regional experts In order to create links between the Project and ICAO s Regional Office, a meeting has been organised in ICAO s premises on 22 nd of January with: Michel BELAND, Regional Safety Officer, Victor KOURENKOV, Regional Officer. The Consortium was represented by: Antoine BONNAUD, Project Manager, Gregory HINDSON, STE ENAC. The objectives of this meeting were: To inform ICAO about the project s objectives and methodology, To collect general data concerning the beneficiary countries, To exchange about the SMS implementation process in the beneficiary countries, To gather data enabling the Consortium to develop the training plan. The need to give preference to interactive training allowing the beneficiaries to build their own plan (especially for managers), has been emphasised by ICAO s experts

14 Training of operational air transport control staff of South Ring States Progress Report 1 31st January ACTIVITIES PLANNED IN THE NEXT PERIOD The next period will cover the six following months (01 st of February st of July 2008). 4.1 Evaluation Report Delivery (D1) The Evaluation Report (Deliverable 1) will be delivered beginning of February. This report will represent the output of Work Package 1. Its objectives will be the following: To draw a picture of organisation and institutional context of each beneficiary country, To provide an overview of the current situation in terms of ATC operations (traffic, equipment and organisation, technical infrastructures), To present and assess the current situation in terms of ATC and English Training. To provide recommendations for training evolutions, To identify the training needs in order to build the training curricula for the second phase of the project, To provide recommendations for Safety Oversight improvement. All the stakeholders have shown a particular interest in this project and would like to be involved in the training plan definition. Thus, the Consortium proposes to take the opportunity of the seminars which will be organised on site, not only to present the report but also to discuss the conclusions and work with the beneficiary to customise the training plan. It will ensure a better involvement of the beneficiaries within the Project. As a consequence, the first official release of the report will be submitted after the two seminars organised by the end of March Links with Eurocontrol Links with EUROCONTROL will be initiated during the next period in order to coordinate the project activities with the one of the EUROCONTROL in these countries and especially in the fields of Safety Oversight. This will also represent the opportunity to gather data for preparing the workshops activities. 4.3 Seminars on-site As a conclusion of WP1 activities, 1 seminar (2/3 days) is to be organised in each area: Central Asia: in Almaty, Kazakhstan on 18th and 19th of March 2008, Caucasus and Moldova: in Tbilisi, Georgia, on 26th and 27th of March The Consortium proposes the following agenda: - 9 -

15 Training of operational air transport control staff of South Ring States Progress Report 1 31st January 2008 Review of the D1- report conclusions, Review of the draft training plan, Discussions related to report conclusions. Two managers per country will be invited at the seminar. The Consortium recommends that each country designates one representative from the Regulatory Authority and one from the Air Navigation Service Provider. These seminars will represent opportunities not only to consolidate the collected data but also to finalise the training plan with the beneficiaries. 4.4 D1 finalisation After the on-site seminars, the deliverable 1 will be amended in order to take account, as much as possible, the comments and propositions of the beneficiaries. Two weeks after the second seminar, the Consortium will submit the first official release of the evaluation report, including the proposed training plan. 4.5 Determination of Workshops agenda In the frame of this project, 6 workshops will be performed. As mentioned in the Consortium s technical proposal, the precise program will be discussed with and approved by the European Commission. The whole program will be developed over the next period, based on D1-conclusions in order to enable the first workshops to be organised over the period. 4.6 Beginning of the training plan Over the next period (1 st February 31 st July 2008), the first training activities will be performed: WP Training session Place Date Number of staff involved WP2 Training for Managers (Caucasus and Moldova) Tbilisi 26th and 27th of March Managers WP2 Training for Managers (Central Asia) Almaty between 17th and 21st of March Managers WP3 English Training St Petersburg TBD 18 ATCOs WP0 Workshop 1 TBD TBD 1 representative per country

Data collection regarding the technical and operational environment in which ATC operations are performed in Moldova, and organisation of safety management within MOLDATSA. 2 MISSION OUTCOMES The technical assistance project for the TRACECA countries "Training of operational air transport control staff of South Ring States" has been presented at the Second Meeting of the Regional EU - Black Sea / Caspian Basin Expert Working Group on Civil Aviation. Expert Working Group has discussed the recently launched project and underlined the importance of a concise and speedy implementation in line with the needs of the beneficiary countries. Moldova noticed that they have already participated in South Ring project and they are confident that current project will be a success and they will benefit from the project. Collected data is enough to perform interim assessment and to develop deliverables with findings and recommendations. We have established good links with Regulator and ANSP for additional data reception when required. The first assessment highlights that: Moldova recently has adopted aviation strategy with the view to ensuring the harmonised implementation of the European regularity requirements and international standards into the national legislation. CAA and MOLDATSA can benefit from the training session on Personal and Career Development for ATCOs (Management training). No training facility has been identified in Moldova which could not, as a consequence, deliver ab-initio training for ATCO s The technical infrastructure and ATC operations are satisfactory for service provision in MOLDATSA.
