GM1 ATSEP.OR.220 Continuation training ED Decision 2017/001/R REFRESHER TRAINING (a)       For the purpose of this section, ‘refresher training’ is understood as being training designed to review, reinforce or upgrade existing knowledge and skills (including team skills). (b)       Refresher training may periodically include training to refresh and augment ATSEP team skills. Team skills include but are not limited to communication, negotiation, decision-making, conflict resolution and listening skills. EMERGENCY TRAINING (c)       ‘Emergency training’ is understood as being training designed to broaden knowledge, skills, and behaviour in case of emergency, unusual or degraded situation. Most of the training will be site-specific or may make use of incident or accident analysis. (d)       The term ‘emergency’ is considered as a serious, unexpected and/or potentially dangerous situation requiring immediate action(s), e.g. complete loss of any of the following: — radar display picture; — Electronic Flight Progress Strip system; —             main, standby and emergency communications on multiple frequencies due to external interference blocking the radiotelephony channels. (e)       The term ‘unusual situation’ is considered as a set of circumstances which are neither habitually nor commonly experienced and for which an ATSEP has not developed a practised response. (f)        The term ‘degraded situation’ is considered as a situation that is the result of a technical system failure or malfunction or a set of circumstances arising from human error or violation of rules affecting the quality of the service provided (i.e. the service continues to be available, even though in a reduced or limited way). For instance, external main supply’s failure to a Category III ILS localiser field site cabin or a normally dual channel DME having a fault on one channel.
