EASA and EUROCONTROL Lead Efforts for Competency-Based Training
Regulators in the European Union are preparing for changes to air traffic controller training rules, with a focus on competency-based training and assessment. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and EUROCONTROL recently held a workshop to help national competent authorities understand the amendment to the European ATCO Licensing Regulation, which introduces CBTA requirements for initial training and operational air traffic services units. The implementation of these changes is expected to have a significant impact on the ATCO training pipeline, and EASA and EUROCONTROL are working to support the transition. This development was reported by Halldale Group.
