The European ATCO licence has moved
the surveillance technology aspects from
ratings to endorsements. However, from a
global perspective the division between
procedural and surveillance (or radar) is
becoming blurred. In addition, as
technology evolves in another area, that of
datalink communications, specific datalink
endorsements may be required to cover the
skills needed to safely use Controller Pilot
Data Link Communication. This
highlights how technology can also result
in the merging of endorsements.
The services provided by ATM may no
longer be viewed simply in terms of
Aerodrome, Approach and Area. Not only will
services need to be considered as disciplines
within the ICAO Concept components, but
also the skill sets required for the services will
also evolve. It is not reasonable to expect that
because someone has ratings and
endorsements for a group of sectors they
necessarily have sufficient ability to be a multisector
planner. Similar cases exist for pilots;
they cannot be assumed to be able to selfseparate
(especially electronically) in high
density environments, nor can it be assumed
that pilots and controllers will automatically
have the skills necessary to blend trajectorycontract
aircraft with non-contract aircraft.
Regarding unit endorsements, The European
Manual on Personnel Licensing – Air Traffic
Controllers states: “Unit endorsements are
endorsements associated with specific ratings
and rating endorsements, which indicate the
air traffic control unit where the license holder
provides an air traffic control service and the
individual sectors, groups of sectors or
operational positions on which a controller is
competent to provide the appropriate air
traffic control service. Unit endorsements may
also indicate the specific types of surveillance
equipment used by the unit in the provision
of air traffic control services on specific sectors,
groups of sectors or operational positions.”
Although there are valid reasons today for
unit endorsements, some of these
endorsements can inappropriately create
differences which inhibit interoperability of
the ATM system. For example, future
concepts of ATM require that traffic flows not
be constrained by sector, facility or State
boundaries, but ATCOs are still licensed
using unit endorsements. Consequently,
ATCO training and licensing will need to, on
the one hand, cater for the existing airspace
boundaries and, on the other, prepare for the
introduction of the Functional Airspace
Blocks, which will feature in the Single
European Sky ATM network.
It is still somewhat unclear as to how
current and future changes will contribute
towards safety and efficiency of ATM. The full
extent to which ANSPs will be affected by the
cost of harmonisation is still unknown. The
possibility that ATCOs may be disadvantaged
by the use of licensing changes to force change
or discriminate inappropriately (for example
on ethnic grounds) must also be considered.
In short, all change involves opportunities and
threats and the only way that ATM safety and
efficiency can be properly addressed is by
wisely applying the changes. Wisdom, in this
case, is working together and not against each
other to achieve mutually beneficial change.

Simon Michell talks to IFATCA’s Executive Vice-President Europe, Patrik Peters, about
the challenges involved in implementing and working in a ‘Just Culture’ environment
Working in a
‘Just Culture’
At the ICAO 11th Air Navigation
Conference in 2003, IFATCA submitted a
Working Paper entitled The Need for a Just
Culture in Aviation Safety Management. The
paper invited States to review their existing
aviation laws in order to remove those
impediments which were preventing the
collection and analysis of some extremely
valuable safety-related information. The
paper also called for the development of
legislation that would protect people
involved in reporting incidents from
punitive legal action and punishment. In
addition, EUROCONTROL’s Safety Data
Reporting and Data Flow Task Force
(SAFREP) 1 proposed recommendations to
its Provisional Council that stress the need
for implementation of a ‘Just Culture’.
These recommendations have since been
