[104] Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 716/2014 of 27 June 2014 on the establishment of the Pilot Common Project supporting the implementation of the European Air Traffic Management Master Plan (OJ L 190, 28.6.2014, p. 19).
[105] Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1048 of 18 July 2018 laying down airspace usage requirements and operating procedures concerning performance-based navigation (OJ L 189, 26.7.2018, p. 3).
[106] Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 716/2014 of 27 June 2014 on the establishment of the Pilot Common Project supporting the implementation of the European Air Traffic Management Master Plan (OJ L 190, 28.6.2014, p. 19).
[107] Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1048 of 18 July 2018 laying down airspace usage requirements and operating procedures concerning performance-based navigation (OJ L 189, 26.7.2018, p. 3).
Air traffic controller (ATC) approach training covers navigation, maps, charts, instrument procedures (SIDs/STARs), and stabilized approaches. Controllers must manage navigational system changes, assist pilots, and understand satellite/performance-based navigation (PBN) like RNP approaches. Training emphasizes interpreting charts and providing navigational assistance for safe air traffic management.
