Foreword
An exchange of views between members of the ICAO Air Navigation Commission, the ICAO
Secretariat and members of the International Federation of Air Traffic Safety Electronic Association
(IFATSEA) that took place in 2000 during the 30th IFATSEA Assembly in Montreal, highlighted the fact that
personnel involved in the maintenance and installation of CNS/ATM systems were trained to various
standards. Some States had implemented a comprehensive program of training, certification and in some case
of licensing while other States were still looking for appropriate guidance. There was, at that time, a lack of
universally established principles to govern the exercise of that profession. Subsequently, the 11th Air
Navigation Conference that was held at ICAO Headquarters in September 2003 expressed the view that the
needs related to training, qualification and competency of air traffic safety electronics personnel required
further investigation.
Air navigation systems are now implemented and operated globally. Aviation is going beyond
geographical boundaries and personnel involved in the maintenance and installation of CNS/ATM systems
should be trained to uniform requirements on a worldwide basis. ICAO therefore decided to develop of a
new Part of the ICAO Training Manual that would address the training requirements for this technical group
or personnel that is recognized as the Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP).
This manual is intended to give detailed information on the training and expertise required for
personnel involved in the maintenance and installation of CNS/ATM systems. It should be used in
conjunction with Annex 10 - Aeronautical Telecommunications - and associated manuals as well as the
training required for these systems.
The constant evolution of the CNS/ATM technology brings new challenges to air navigation.
Training requirements have to be adapted regularly. This is why this Manual has been developed to be
generic, as much as possible to provide the flexibility needed to address future systems/equipment.
ICAO would like to acknowledge the major contribution made by IFATSEA in the preparation of Part
E-2 of the Training Manual. This manual is largely based on a document that was developed by IFATSEA.
The manual also draws on EUROCONTROL Guidelines for a Common Qualification Level of Technical
Training for Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel and on the contribution received from states,
international organizations and individual experts who have provided support, advice and input toward this
manual.
Comments on this manual would be appreciated from all States and ICAO Technical Assistance
field missions. These comments will be taken into account in the preparation of subsequent editions.
Comments concerning the manual should be addressed to:
