EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this annex to the document ‘ATCO Rating Training – Training Plans:
Aerodrome Training’ (see EATM, 2004 – T36) is to state how each objective is taught to the
learner (Lesson, Part-Task Practice, Simulation, etc).
The training plan indicates for each subject, topic and objective the most efficient type of
training event.
In order to further detail the training plans, two tables, ‘training event allocation’ and
‘training event coverage’, are proposed for each training. They present the same data from
two different points of view:
• ‘Training event allocation’ follows the Subject - Topic - Sub-topic - Objective order, in
order to specify for each objective the type, code and duration of the training events in
which the objective is addressed.
• ‘Training event coverage’ follows the alphabetic order of the training event codes to
specify the title and duration of each training event, the list of addressed objectives, the
materials used, and the references.
‘Training event allocation’ is to be used when searching how an objective is addressed, while
‘training event coverage’ indicates the global content of a training.
The purpose of these tables is to present all the information needed to develop the
courseware and to implement the training in a clear and concise manner.
The order in which the objectives or the training events are written and
numbered is a compromise to ensure that the training plan is readable,
exhaustive and traceable.
This order is subject to local training design. In order to sequence the training
events, the training designer will have to develop a list of prerequisites.
A prerequisite is an objective that should be achieved before addressing
another one. The prerequisite links are between objectives only and can easily
be used to build the training programme, particularly the sequence of training
events. So the freedom of the training designer is limited by the prerequisite
links. A training event should not be planned before the learner has achieved
the prerequisites of any of its objectives. The typical example is the counter-
productivity of scheduling a simulation before the learner has achieved the
objectives regarding standard phraseology or the airspace structure.
The full mastering of level 3 ATM objectives requires that most of the other
objectives have been taught before. This does not prevent the practising of
parts of the level 3 objectives with only parts of the prerequisites. On the
contrary, the integration of the step-by-step practice facilitates the learning
process.
