Training Institute and Experimental Centre join forces to focus on SESAR |
|
|
|
Aiming to maximise and enhance EUROCONTROL’s ATM training, the Institute of Air Navigation Services (IANS) has joined forces with its Co-operative Network Design (CND) partner, the Experimental Centre to deliver a special, modified ‘Towards a Future European ATM System’ course, which will be presented at the Experimental Centre in April. Concentrating on the SESAR programme, this joint venture will enable participants to learn about and see the validation work going on in support of this important programme. Some places are still available.

Historically, air traffic management (ATM) in Europe has developed in a fragmented way, largely as result of differing national needs and capabilities. More recently, many initiatives, often co-ordinated by EUROCONTROL, have been taken across the region to harmonise ATM operations and to enable individual states to focus their activity and resources effectively and efficiently. This approach has generally managed to support the needs of the airspace users but it is becoming increasingly evident that it will not be able to satisfy the demands which will be made on the ATM system in the future.

|
|
With the development and implementation of a European ATM Master Plan, called for by the Single European Sky (SES) regulations, a pan-European ATM solution - merging a variety of present and planned programmes with new required developments - will enable Europe’s ATM system to meet future needs. Inevitably, this will involve changes, sometimes significant changes, to the existing system. At present, whilst the Master Plan continues to evolve, it is not always clear what changes may be needed; this course will provide an overview of the current situation and of some of the possibilities for the future.
|
|
|
This course will provide participants with an overview of:
- how the future European Air Traffic Management system may look,
- the elements that will enable the system to work, and
- the strategy for its implementation.
|
|
|
By the end of this course, participants will be aware of how the future European Air Traffic Management system is likely to develop and the latest plans for its implementation.
|
|
|
The course is designed for staff working in any area of ATM, to whom an overview of current and future development of the ATM system might be beneficial. The course provides a predominantly operational view of the future. This course will be held in the EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre’s Auditorium which can accommodate up to 120 participants.
|
|
|
The course lasts 5 days starting at 10:00 on Monday, 21 April, 2008, and finishing at 13:00 on Friday, 25 April, 2008.

This specially adapted GEN-FUT course will take place at the Experimental Centre in Brétigny-sur-Orge, near Paris (France). This joint venture aims to enhance the training by enabling participants to see validation and R&D work in action. These demonstrations are directly linked to the SESAR programme and will show ongoing work in Network Effectiveness, Airport Enhancements and future ATC Operations.
Free bus transport between Paris and the Experimental Centre has been organised and details will be given in the course confirmation letter.
