The development of a harmonised ATCO licensing scheme was an ECAC Ministers decision.
The ATCO licensing scheme is explained and described in detail in the "European Manual of Personnel Licensing - Air Traffic Controllers", June 2004.
During the development of this manual a need was identified to develop medical requirements for ATCOs. This led to the publication of the “Requirements for European Class 3 Medical Certification of ATCOs” (Feb 2006).
An ATCO Licensing database has been developed to support the Member States.
ESARR 5 describes the regulatory requirements for ATCOs and for engineers and technical personnel (ATSEP). The European Manual of Personnel Licensing - Air Traffic Controllers (Edition 2.0) and the Requirements for European Class 3 Medical Certification of ATCOs have been assessed as means to comply with ESARR 5.
EUROCONTROL has developed the Guidelines for the Competence Assessment of ATSEP to support Member States in the application of ESARR 5 for ATSEP.
The EC Regulation laying down common requirements for the provision of Air Navigation Services replicates the ESARR 5 requirements for ATSEP. The EUROCONTROL Guidelines for the Competence Assessment of ATSEP is currently being reviewed to become a EUROCONTROL Specification to comply with this regulation and ESARR 5.
The EC Directive on ATCO Licensing (2006) contains requirements designed to ensure the highest standards of responsibility and competence to improve the availability of ATCOs and to promote the mutual recognition of licenses. The European Manual of Personnel Licensing - Air Traffic Controllers is currently being reviewed and updated to become a EUROCONTROL Specification complying with the EC Directive and ESARR 5 requirements for ATCOs.
