EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Phase II – Rating and endorsement specialised training Module 10 provides the Danish CAA ATSCommon Core Content for Aerodrome Flight Information Service Instrument Rating 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. A copyof this, together with a list of action verbs used, are contained the Danish CAA ATS Initial Training– BASIC ATS TRAINING.

Following the tabulated format of the Phase I Common Core Content, the AerodromeFlight Information Service Instrument Rating training common core content has beensubdivided into subjects:

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. The design of the Aerodrome Flight Information Service Instrumental Ratingcourse can now be based on the combination of Phase I – Basic ATS Training and Phase II –Rating and endorsement specialised training Module 10.

This module should be trained as a combination of classroom lecturing and simulator exercises.

Minimum time spendLecturing 40 hours * **

Simulator training 15 hours per student **

* if combined with module 12, the required lecturing time for the succeeding module may behalved after having passed the test of this module.

** if converting/extending from ATC to FIS licence the required lecturing time may be halvedand the required simulator time may be reduced subject to the CTI assessment but not lessthan 75%.

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