DESCRIPTION
This 23 day course emphasizes
simulation training to teach basic radar
skills such as vectoring, speed control,
approach clearances and emergency situations.
FAA techniques are blended with
ICAO procedures to enhance the program
and to prepare participants for on-the-
job training.
OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of the course, participants
will be able to:
- Identify components, features, terms,
functions, advantages and disadvantages
of primary and secondary radar
systems, and primary and secondary
radar phenomena.
- Identify selected radar tracking terms
and standards. List the components
and functions of automated radar
tracking systems. List the characteristics
of digitized and composite radar
presentations.
- Recognize the functions of transponder
modes and codes and modes. Identify discrete
and nondiscrete transponder code
assignment features and phraseology.
- Identify radar identification and mode
C terms and standards, verification
procedures and phraseology; identify
terms, requirements, restrictions and
procedures for transferring radar identity.
- Identify radar separation standards and
requirements and procedures, wake turbulence
standards, and tolerances of
Mode C during different phases of
flight.
- Identify different reasons, requirements,
responsibilities, phraseology and
procedures for vectoring, speed control
and departures.
- Identify arrival/approach services, procedures,
requirements and phraseology.
- State emergency conditions, categories
and codes; emergency assistance procedures;
identify procedures for handling
radar failure. State flight information
service phraseology and identify the
requirements and procedures for providing
radar flight information services.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Those who have aviation English training,
as well as either having completed an
air traffic control fundamentals course or
having experience as an air traffic controller.
This course has been tailored to
meet international needs. All enrollment
spaces are reserved for international participants.
