Pilots and Controllers need to receive a general training about CNS/ATM domains as an essential part of their whole training process to obtain the corresponding license.For this purpose, the pilots and controllers training itinerary in CNS/ATM is composed of two courses:COURSE 1: ‘CNSATM.INITIAL’ composed of the following modules:Module 1: Introduction to ATM (Air Traffic Management).Module…
GAELICAM has developed the following certification, verification and safety related courses: SAF-SM: Safety Management. This training course addresses Safety from a wide perspective introducing the attendees the different concepts, policies and strategies to deal with this important matter. The training course starts with a general overview on Safety identifying the most important concepts, why Safety…
GAELICAM has developed the following CNS/ATM and data processing courses: CNSATM-GEN: Air Navigation CNS/ATM systems. This course provides a high level overview of all CNS/ATM systems used by the Air navigation Service providers (ANSPs). The course describes and explains the main role of communications, navigation, surveillance and data processing systems used for the provision of…
Surveillance is a key part of ATM. Radar, the mainstay of surveillance for many years, is now being supplemented by a variety of newer techniques such as ADS-B and multilateration. The key words for the future of surveillance are “performance” and “interoperability”. GAELICAM offers courses covering the principles of both traditional and new surveillance techniques:
The navigational performance of an aircraft is dependent on two main factors: the navigation aids, whether ground or space-based, that are used, their geometry relative to the aircraft and the capabilities of the aircraft’s avionics. The navigation domain addresses recent advances in navigation capabilities and the performance that can be delivered by the associated infrastructure.…
Aeronautical telecommunications are a core enabler for Air Traffic Management. Today, traditional voice communications are no longer sufficient to support modern operations. The introduction – in addition to voice – of a variety of data transfer systems for new and existing mobile and fixed communications systems, makes this a rapidly developing sector of the industry.…

Initial Training precedes the System/Equipment Rating Training. It includes Basic Training and Qualification Training. Basic Training. Training designed to impart fundamental knowledge of the CNS/ATM environment and skills applicable to all learner ATSEPs. Qualification Training. Training designed to impart domain related knowledge and skills appropriate to the qualification stream to be pursued in the CNS/ATM…
The term ATSEP is used to describe “engineering and technical personnel undertaking operational safety related tasks”.ATSEP training is divided into three phases:Initial Training: Training that precedes the System/Equipment Rating Training. It includes Basic Training and Qualification Training.System/Equipment Rating Training: Training designed to impart system/equipment-related knowledge and skills leading towards operational competence.Continuation Training: Training designed to…
