• ED Decision 2015/010/R found in: Air Traffic Controllers Licensing and Certification (2015/340) Part-ATCO (Jun 2024)

GM1 ATCO.B.025(a)(6)  Unit competence scheme ED Decision 2015/010/R ORAL EXAMINATIONS Oral examinations should be used to test understanding of applicable techniques and the rules governing them, particularly of unit and national air traffic control procedures. Scenario-type questioning allows the assessor to gather additional evidence of how an air traffic controller would react in circumstances that are not observable but are nevertheless considered important to the overall operation at that ATC unit. The oral examination should give a clear indication that the air traffic controller knows not only what he/she should be doing, but why he/she should be doing it. The oral examination requires considerable skills and it should be undertaken in a way to ensure consistency among individual assessors.
