In addition, Annex 1 states that the applicant shall have completed an approved training course in the training organization. In the same manner as for the general requirements, Annex 1 states that applicants shall have completed the training course in the training organization and have undertaken a minimum number of hours of on-the-job training. Finally, the applicant for an air traffic control rating must be able to demonstrate that they have achieved the necessary skill, judgment and performance that is required to provide a safe, orderly and expeditious control service. Although the training and experience requirements are clearly detailed in Annex 1, there are no requirements or recommended practices on how the training should be organized. …show more content…
Estimating current and future requirements for aviation personnel and training capacity in each region is essential for human resources planning, institutional capacity building, and related funding and policy measures. The challenges facing ATM in operational environment is well known. It is forecasted that more traffic and there is a much greater stress on improving performance – maximizing mission efficiency, minimizing the environmental impact, reducing delays and of course maintaining or even improving safety. Our solutions have to be globally interoperable and deployable. NATO Allied Forces need to consider the facilities fully staffed because controllers still in training are used to fill the gaps. But the reports say there is great variation among trainee skill levels and readiness to work on their own. It typically takes about three to five years for a trainee to become fully qualified. Many trainees need fully qualified controllers to sit alongside and watch while they direct air traffic, ready to step in if there is a problem. Other trainees have reached a level of proficiency where they're able to work
The Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) is a network of select aircraft from several commercial airlines that are all committed in various amounts to the Department of Defense (DoD) to provide airlift resources when the capability of U.S. military aircraft is exceeded. This system is designed so that these carriers can provide military cargo movement and troop transportation to anywhere in the world on short notice in the event of a military conflict. In order for airlines to join the CRAF, they must commit at least 30 percent of their long-range passenger fleet and 15 percent of their long-range cargo planes (Fact Sheet, 2004). These aircraft must also be U.S. registered, capable of over water operations, and have at least four complete crews assigned for each aircraft (Fact Sheet, 2004). Airlines that participate in CRAF have provided vital support to our military since the Korean War (Graham, David, 2003). The Persian Gulf War was the first official activation of the CRAF, where two thirds of the troops and one quarter of the air cargo was moved by commercial airplanes (Graham, 2003). Though not officially activated, the CRAF is currently supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom, providing nearly double the amount of aircraft that the DoD has estimated for its most demanding war strategies. This paper will provide a brief explanation of the purpose of the CRAF, its history, the effectiveness of the program, and a quick look towards the future of the CRAF.

An added on job experience will definitely benefit the PAs to understand what they will encounter upon graduating the school. Equally, the PAs will get the opportunity to gain additional experience related to CI as well as gain contacts prior to fully submerging themselves as a Special Agent. The recommended period of the on the job training should be no less than twelve months to ensure full expose to overall CI concepts. The initial on the job training will provide the basics, understanding the workflow, build a proper characteristic, and finally able to grasp overall job requirements. In a similar way, the PAs can test the water and allow the EAs to evaluate the future Special Agents. The EAs can set clear expectations, provide feedback, and document the development of the PAs throughout the process. Subsequently, this introductory period can serve as an option for the PAs to decide if CI is a field for them to venture or should they pursue something
As airline industry is a competitive marketplace, the airline companies use new technologies to improve their efficiency and decrease the overhead costs, including ‘advanced aircraft engine technology, IT solutions, and mobile technology’ (Cederholm 2014). The technology changes including technology improvement, new innovation and disruptive technology. The disruptive technology need to meet the characteristics of ‘simplicity, convenience, accessibility and affordability’ (Christensen 1995). The technology changes would bring both opportunities and threats to airline companies. Since Labour cost and fuel costs occupy 50% of most airlines operating cost (Groot 2014). Therefore, if new technologies could be disruptive in the two aspects, there will be important changes to current airline
training every two years (Deschenaux, 2007). In addition, the employer must answer all employees’ questions within two days, and all of the trainers much meet a high level of standards (Deschenaux, 2007). This article does not encourage online training courses to meet the state obligations.

One of the first ideas presented in the book that I felt was one of the main ideas is the idea of copying the works of the people that you admire the most. Through the creation of who you are as an artist or as a person in general, the act of copying the people you aspire to be like the most is an important concept in this book. The book stresses the idea of creativity and the idea of how in creativity there lies no originality but stealing the ideas of others. He emphasizes the benefit of stealing ideas in order to develop your own art work and in turn creating your own voice as a person. In addition to the idea of copying, creation is a large topic in the book. For example, in the chapter "Write the Book You Want to Read" he mentions making things that you like to make and create the things that you want to see created. Whether this creation be a piece of music or art, he mentions that you should imagine what your favorite artists would make if they worked together and to create that yourself.
“Where is it Written” by Adam Schwartz, is a story about love and heartache with Sandra trying to get custody of her son, Sam. Sam first was living with her mother with some issues like, arguing and disrespect. Then Sandra starts trying to be nice to Sam so he can stay with her. Finally, Sam ends up with his father. Coming of age is an important theme, in which it shows that an individual is coming to adulthood and takes responsibility and a deeper understanding of one's consequences. Sam came of age because he realizes his mother just really wants her son in her life. He also realized that you can’t change someone’s opinion when in their heart of hearts they know they are right.

Throughout the history of aviation, accidents have and will continue to occur. With the introduction of larger and more complex aircraft, the number of humans required to operate these complex machines has increased as well as, some say, the probability of human error. There are studies upon studies of aircraft accidents and incidents resulting from breakdowns in crew coordination and, more specifically, crew communication. These topics are the driving force behind crew resource management. This paper will attempt to present the concept of crew resource management (CRM) and its impact on aviation safety in modern commercial and military aviation. The concept is not a new one, but is continually evolving and can even include non-human elements such as computer-controlled limitations on aircraft maneuvers and the conflicts that result in the airline industry.
Prior to 1959, faulty equipment was the probable cause for many airplane accidents, but with the advent of jet engines, faulty equipment became less of a threat, while human factors gained prominence in accident investigations (Kanki, Helmreich & Anca, 2010). From 1959 to 1989, pilot error was the cause of 70% of accident resulting in the loss of hull worldwide (Kanki, Helmreich & Anca, 2010). Due to these alarming statistics, in 1979 the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) implemented a workshop called “Resource Management on the Flightdeck” that led to what is now known as Crew Resource Management (CRM) or also known as Cockpit Resource Management (Rodrigues & Cusick, 2012). CRM is a concept that has been attributed to reducing human factors as a probable cause in aviation accidents. The concepts of CRM weren’t widely accepted by the aviation industry, but through its history, concepts, and eventual implementation, Crew Resource Management has become an invaluable resource for pilots as well as other unrelated industries around the world.
The intent of this research is to provide the reader with insight on how Crew Resource Management (CRM) improves safety in aviation organizations. This research will also present how CRM establishes a set of guidelines, behavioral norms, and standard operational practices that enables an organization to utilize all resources available to conduct safe and efficient flight operations. CRM encompasses a wide range of knowledge, skills and attitudes including communications, situational awareness, problem solving, aeronautical decision-making, information management, and teamwork (Royal Aeronautical Society, 1999). CRM is also a synergistic approach to managing flight operations, and allows crews to dynamically multi-task and prioritize work efforts in order to conduct their operations more efficiently and safely. Over the last three decades, the NTSB, NASA, the FAA, ICAO, the military, and the airline industry have created CRM programs, and extensively researched and tested new and innovative ways to incorporate CRM with cockpit automation.
