EPN OJTI Course for AEROTHAI OJTI Team8-11 August 2017

AEROTHAI attained ICAO CBT Workshop for ATCO & ATSEP

New ICAO ATSEP Training Method

• Competency-based training Approach

• ICAO Doc.10057 (2017) provides guidance to ANSPs and training organizations on the development of ATSEP Competency-based Training and Assessment Programs.

• AEROTHAI plans to implement CBT for System/Equipment training Modules.

TMCS Project Training

AEROTHAI Training Process

• Implement a new system or upgrade CNS system

• Factory training according to requirement in TOR or specification

• Installation and In-house training by Manufacture or supplier

• Internal training (Classroom and On-the-job training) by AEROTHAI engineers

• Refresher training for operational staffs by AEROTHAI

TMCS Project Status

• In 2008, AEROTHAI awarded LFV Swedavia Sweden to design “Future ATM Operation Concept and ATMC Implementation Plan”.

• In 2013, AEROTHAI selected Thales ATM products: – Topsky-ATC,

– Topsky-Tower,

– Topsky-Simulation

• In 2015,AEROTHAI awarded Helios for safety assessment Consultancy.

• At present, TMCS is in the process of transition from the legacy system to the New ATM system (TMCS), it will be operated in 2018.

Safety Assessment

TMCS Training Course

• ATC Training– Human Machine Interface

(HMI) Training

– Operational Procedures Training

• Engineering Training – Data Processing System

– Voice Communication & Control System (VCCS)

– UPS and Power Supply

– IP Network Training• IP Cloud Part 1 (Basic)

• IP Cloud Part 2 (Advance)

Training Obstacles

• Delay of equipment delivery causes delay of training plan

• Development of training resources and materials is time consumption, it increases working workload of expert (OJT instructor, SME, Course developers)

• Trainee have fixed working schedule, it’s difficult to setup training schedule for them.

• English proficiency

• Accomplish recognized ATSEP training courses

• Maintain working competency and hold ATSEP certificate and valid ATSEP license

• Working in CNS/ATM system worldwide

Future of AEROTHAI Engineer’s

“to be a High Performance Organization, we will utilize Competency-Based System to enhance staff’s working performance for all working units”
