2024 - ED Decision 2023/011/R]
Air traffic controller (ATC) training requires understanding equipment, systems, and degradation procedures for safe air traffic services. This includes voice and data communication, automation, controller workstations, and flight data systems. ATCs must recognize limitations, respond to deficiencies, and apply contingency procedures during equipment failures, including future developments.
