ICAO PANS-OPS Refresher Training by ANI
Instrument flight procedures demand a high level of quality control. Amongst others, designers play a key role in the development of a quality flight procedure.
Training is one of the most important elements of quality assurance. ICAO document 9906 (“Quality Assurance Manual For Flight Procedure Design”) as well as States require a “competency-based approach” to ensure that flight procedure designers have acquired and maintain this competency level through training, supervised on-the-job training (OJT), recurrent and refresher training.
A refresher training is required at regular intervals. This five-day ICAO PANS-OPS Refresher Training typically encompasses the last three amendments of ICAO PANS-OPS and included information about upcoming ones as well. Whenever a topic for recurrency is addressed, also some of the related fundamentals are covered.
Please note: This ICAO PANS-OPS Refresher Training is conducted in Switzerland by the Air Navigation Institute (ANI), a partner of airsight for flight procedure design training. If you have a related project that you would like to discuss with us, feel free to contact us via e-mail or visit our aerodrome safeguarding page.
This training course is conducted in Switzerland by airsight's partner ANI and can be booked directly through their website.
