Foreword
1 International Obligations and Requirements
The United Kingdom, as a member of the International Civil Aviation Organisation and signatory to the Chicago Convention, complies as far as possible with the standards published in the Annexes to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. The Civil Aviation Act empowers the United Kingdom to implement the Chicago Convention. The United Kingdom also, as a member of the European Union, complies with Community legislation in respect of the licensing of air traffic controllers, specifically the European Union Directive on a Community Air Traffic Controller Licence, Directive 2006/23/EC, as transposed in the UK Air Navigation Order (ANO) legislation. In addition, the United Kingdom, as a signatory to the EUROCONTROL Convention, complies as far as is practicable with EUROCONTROL Safety and Regulatory Requirements (ESARRs), specifically, in the case of air traffic controller licensing, with ESARR number 5.
This CAP, Air Traffic Controllers – Licensing, together with CAP 584, Air Traffic Controllers – Training and the CAP 624 series, Air Traffic Controllers – Performance Objectives, represents the United Kingdom’s compliance with the European Union Directive and ESARR number 5 in respect of the training and licensing of air traffic controllers.

2 State Regulatory Body
In the United Kingdom, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) regulates air traffic services, including personnel licensing, under powers granted to it by the Civil Aviation Act and in accordance with the articles of the Air Navigation Order. The Air Traffic Standards Division (ATSD) of the CAA’s Safety Regulation Group is the air traffic control licensing authority responsible for regulating the licensing scheme.

3 Differences to ICAO and European Requirements
The European Union legislative requirements for the licensing of air traffic controllers are broadly similar to those required by ICAO Annex 1 Personnel Licensing, although the structure and names of the ratings vary in some cases.
