| During the past two years the entire staff of air traffic controllers has been through a comprehensive training program in order to ensure that they are completely familiar with all of the functions and details in the new air traffic management system. During the next six weeks there will be intensive education and training so that Naviair operating personnel will be ready in the new year to guide traffic with one of the world's most advanced air traffic management systems.
More than 350 employees have undergone a carefully planned training program that is tailor-made for the individual specialties, e.g. technicians and air traffic controllers. The common task for all these groups is that they will monitor and guide future air traffic with advanced technology, where all information will be provided electronically and not, as at present, with a paper-based system where information on flight level and speed is written down on strips of paper.
The training courses are almost finished. When all of the operating personnel have been through the last training class – that will be starting 17 December 2007 – they will be ready to handle traffic safely and efficiently in the new system. PR & Communications, 21 November 2007 |
