• Module 12: Energy and air conditioning.

COURSE 2: 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 Air Navigation services.
