ED Decision 2023/011/R

SURVEILLANCE FALLBACK AND CONTINGENCY MEASURES

The area control procedural (ACP) rating is not required for area control surveillance (ACS) rating holders when applying surveillance fallback and contingency measures. However, with reference to points ATCO.D.045(c)(3) and ATCO.D.080(b)(2), specific training related to surveillance fallback and contingency procedures should be included in the unit and refresher training to prepare air traffic controllers to deal with such situations.

If contingency plans also include procedures for service continuity by means of providing procedural air traffic control services, a procedural rating should be held and maintained.
