required for Air Navigation Service Providers
(ANSPs), who have separated from the
regulator, in order for them to obtain a licence
to operate. The consequence of this being that
the regulator, in some countries, is now able to
suspend or cancel the ANSP licence and has
required ANSPs (as part of the licensing
process) to nominate another ANSP to
provide services should their licence be
suspended or cancelled.
The International Federation of Air Traffic
Controllers’ Associations (IFATCA) is very
concerned that some countries still allow
non-licensed personnel to act as air traffic
controllers. IFATCA considers that for safety
and professional reasons air traffic control
must only be performed by licensed air
traffic controllers.
Licensing to cover more areas
Currently, it is commonplace for licences not
to be required for those involved in the design
of ATM systems (whether whole or partial
systems), accident/incident investigation or for
the preparation or approval of safety cases
relating to ATM changes. In the past, some of
these roles have been undertaken simply as a
remit of a job title, frequently a management
position, and more recently, these roles have
been performed by a series of delegations of
authority within, for example, a licensed
ANSP. However, the increasing requirements
for interoperability between ANSPs and the
needs of performance-based ATM may well
require personnel licensing of those engaged in
these and other activities that directly affect
ATM operational areas.
The European Manual of Personnel Licensing
– Air Traffic Controllers is an evolution of the
preceding International Civil Aviation
Organisation (ICAO) ATCO licensing system.
Ratings have been retained to indicate
disciplines within which ATC services are
provided (Aerodrome, Approach and Area)
but have been expanded or modified where
necessary. Endorsements are in three forms:
• licence endorsement for generic skills;
• rating endorsement for specific skills, in this
case, the technology used such as radar or
Automatic Dependant Surveillance-Broadcast
(ADS-B);
• unit endorsements for the geographical area.
The European ATCO licence is an
improvement, especially as it addresses the
previously technology-based rating
descriptions – for example, Area Radar is now
Area Surveillance with an endorsement for
radar. The evolution to licensing by pannational
regulators like the European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA) will further harmonise
standards and assessments.
A comprehensive licensing document already
exists in Europe, entitled The EC Directive on
ATCO Licensing. There is also the
aforementioned European Manual of Personnel
Licensing – Air Traffic Controllers, which
describes how to put licensing requirements
into effect. This manual is currently being
reviewed to become a means to comply with
the EC Directive.
The European Manual of Personnel Licensing –
Air Traffic Controllers states: “The use of rating
endorsements to indicate specialist skill areas will
also enable individual States to develop their
own State rating endorsements where they have
a particular requirement to provide specialist air

traffic control services not recognised in the
European license requirements.” However, if
full regional interoperability is to be achieved
then further work is required to monitor the
additional ratings implemented by States.
These licensing requirements should then be
adapted so that a licensing document exists
which States can implement without the need
for exceptions. In this way it is hoped that
global requirements, including the need to
work with and through ICAO, will continue
so that ATCO licensing improvements can be
shared globally.
The evolution of ATCO licensing
Future concepts for ATM make it clear that
the skill set of controllers will need to evolve
with the ATM system and therefore licensing
must evolve as well. Furthermore, issues
including technology, services, geography and
simulation will also need to be addressed.
