Flight Procedure Design Course- Module 1 (N/A)

Flight Procedure Design Course- Module 1.png

Overview

This course details criteria for the fundamental instrument procedure design and the design of departure procedure for both conventional and PBN navigation.

 

Objectives

After this training, the participant, as future procedure designer tutored by a senior procedure designer is able to:

  • Calculate the turn parameters, draw the bounding circle
  • Merge segments of different widths for protection area
  • Design or Cross check  PBN and conventional departures procedures
  • Enable Charting and Coding for PBN departure procedure

Participants concerned

Future procedure designers, Regulators of CAA, Air Traffic Controllers, Pilots for flight inspection or validation, AIS personnel, and other relevant personnel


Prerequisites

Attendees should feel comfortable to communicate in English.

 

Tuition fees

  • Free for Active and User Member States,
  • 1000$ one person per week for Non-Member States.

 

Content

At APAC FPP, according to ICAO doc 9906 volume 2, the initial training of IFR procedures designer consists of three main modules. Each module is independent but completing each other, trainees can choose module on demand. This module is considered the first step in a comprehensive training program to design IFR procedure.

The training is organized around courses, exercises and assessments to apply all the design criteria addressing PBN and conventional departures procedures. The pillars of this training include a case study from ICAO 9368 and a real published procedure.


Focus

  • Conventional navigation and PBN navigation concept
  • Turn protection areas and connection
  • Limitation elements of segments
  • Coding for departure procedures
  • Publication, procedure design documentation
  • Conventional and PBN SID (Standard Instrument Departure)

Theoretical courses

2 weeks' courses are in remote classes.

Presentation and explanation of the rules and principles described in Doc 8168-OPS/611.


Exercises

Elementary use of the regulation concepts in a simplified environment, conducted to enforce the theoretical input.

Exercises are daily scheduled.

The exercises about departure criteria are in remote classes.

Project

Design of departure procedures in a geographic and aeronautic realistic environment. The design is carried out step by step under the guidance of instructors. The project includes also the design of SID Chart and appropriate documentation.


Assessment

Several progress tests are carried out to identify the trainee's ability to apply procedure design criteria. Correction of the project is part of the assessment.

At the end of the course, an individual assessment report is provided to each participant.

 

Certificate issuance

If participants who do not complete the daily practice (homework) during the two weeks of training will automatically lose the chance to attend the final tests.

 

The final tests can only be taken twice. The pass mark is 60.  APAC FPP offers any students with a fail grade to re-take the test. If a participant scores below 80 on both tests, the overall grade of the course will be a fail. If participants who can only take the test once for their personal reasons will automatically lose a chance, we will not provide an opportunity for individual make-up test.

 

Those who successfully complete and pass the test will be awarded the qualification certificate as below.

APAC FPP can only issue the attending training certificate without the certificate number to those who fail the tests twice.
