EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Phase II – Rating and endorsement specialised training Module 11 provides the Common CoreContent for Aerodrome Flight Information Radar Endorsement training.

The content of the rating training course is based on the assumption that the student hassuccessfully completed the Phase I – Basic ATS Training, Common Core Content Objectives as aprerequisite.It has been derived by building on the Phase I Basic ATS Training Common Core Content, and onPhase II – Rating and endorsement specialised training Module 10. A copy of this, together with alist of action verbs used, are contained the Danish CAA ATS Initial Training – BASIC ATSTRAINING.

Following the tabulated format of the Phase I Common Core Content, the AerodromeFlight Information Radar Endorsement training common core content has been subdivided intosubjects:

1. Introduction to the Course (INTR);2. Aviation Law (LAW);3. Air Traffic Management (ATM);4. Meteorology (MET);5. Navigation (NAV);6. Aircraft (ACFT);7. Human Factors (HUM);8. Equipment and Systems (EQPM);9. Professional Environment (PENV);10. Unusual/Emergency Situations (UNES);11. Degraded Systems Capability (DEGS);12. Aerodromes (AGA).

The order of the subjects and objectives is neither intended to convey a pedagogicalsequence nor to indicate a relative level of importance.

The training designer will need to know that the student has successfully completed thePhase I Course and the Phase II – Rating and endorsement specialised training Module 10. Thedesign of the Aerodrome Flight Information Radar Endorsement course can now be based onthe combination of:Phase I – Basic ATS training,Phase II – Rating and endorsement specialised training Module 10, andPhase II – Rating and endorsement specialised training Module 11.

Minimum time spendLecturing 20 hours *

Simulator training 15 hours per student *

* if converting/extending from ATC with Radar endorsement to FIS licence the requiredlecturing time may be halved and the required simulator time may be reduced subject to theCTI assessment but not less than 75%.

Examination/AssessmentSummative assessment in the simulator.Daily logs on debriefing.Assessment report for every 5 hours.
