CHAPTER 1 GENERAL
CHAPTER 1 SECTION 1 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF TRAINING PROGRAM Operational training encompasses that period of time required for an individual to develop the ability to perform all required control duties. The aim of the KAIA Tower Operational Training Program is to ensure that all air traffic controllers are trained to a high standard that will enable them to provide ATS at KAIA. The objectives of the ATC Tower training program are as follows: a. b. c. Familiarize controllers with the local environment; Train controllers to function in the Tower environment; and Assess controllers' ability to function in the Tower environment.
This OTP uses the criteria found in the KAIA LOPs as its foundation and the Deputy SATCO is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the program under the overall authority of SATCO. Flight Safety and ATC operational effectiveness SHALL always take priority over training. Rated personnel shall ensure that safe and effective control over all situations is maintained by providing adequate direction to trainees or by resuming control in a timely manner.
CHAPTER 1 SECTION 2 TRAINING PROGRAM GUIDELINES 1. Daily Assessment. The daily training report is one of the most important records for individuals undergoing unit rating. It is the means by which strengths and weaknesses of a controller are assessed. Correctly completed forms provide supervisory personnel with the necessary information to evaluate the progress of individuals undergoing checkout. Daily assessments will be further explained in chapter 2 of this manual. 2. Weekly Assessment. Each trainee will be briefed on the past weeks performance and will include a resume of the trainees progress, noting any areas that require improvement, strengths, the material covered, and a general assessment of the trainees progress to date. Again, further clarification will be provided in chapter 2 of this manual. 3. Leave. approval. All leave is coordinated through the D/SATCO for SATCO
4. Briefing. The Deputy SATCO or SATCO shall interview all personnel at the beginning of the operational training. Items to be discussed during this interview shall include: a. b. c. d. e. past employment; the individual's perspectives and concerns; the OTP; the role of the airport; and what is expected of the trainee during training.
5. Monitoring. Monitors will familiarize themselves with the trainees recent progress. This will allow continuity in training. 6. Training Documentation. A progress file on personnel undergoing operational training shall be maintained by the unit and made available to the trainee. The file shall be retained until the controller is posted, at which time it will be destroyed. The file will contain at minimum: a. b. c. training check lists and Local Knowledge Exam (LKE); completed daily debrief forms; and completed rating form.
CHAPTER 2 TRAINING ADMINISTRATION
CHAPTER 2 SECTION 1 TRAINING PHILOSOPHY 1. Trainees shall ensure that they: a. b. study all pertinent publications as indicated in Section 2 Para 3; recognize their limitations, accept constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement, and be prepared for the monitor to take control; ensure training reports submitted to the D/SATCO; and take an active role in the rating process.
c. d.
2. Trainees are reminded that it is their checkout. They are expected to take an active role in the rating process by utilizing spare time to study publications, familiarize themselves with equipment, discuss control scenarios with other controllers, and any other activity that will facilitate their rating. 3. Trainees are expected to know and apply the appropriate rules and techniques for each control situation. They must keep in mind that, although monitor techniques may vary, the rules for control do not. When accepting a debrief, the trainee should be clear about whether a training point is correction of wrong technique or advice to improve on an acceptable technique. Trainees are free to develop their own techniques from their own understanding or what they perceive as the best ideas from each monitor. Monitors will consider each action and allow the trainee to continue so long as safety and efficiency are not adversely affected. 4. At no time shall the monitor nor the trainee conduct the monitor/debrief process in a fashion that may be considered harassment. Trainees should understand that the constructive criticism that they receive under training is meant to improve their ability and does not constitute harassment. If a trainee feels uncomfortable with a particular debrief or situation, they are obligated to take appropriate steps to make their concerns known. 5. A Trainee has the right to request that the daily debrief take place in a private location (such as on the catwalk, an office or other location) and not in front of the crew or others.
CHAPTER 2 SECTION 2 CHECKOUT CRITERIA 1. In order to achieve a rating at KAIA as a Tower Controller, the trainee must: a.
b. c.
meet the position standard for all positions in the tower; obtain a mark of 90% or above on the LKE; obtain Deputy SATCO/ SATCO authorization to perform control duties. In addition, the trainee must feel confident that he/she is ready to control without supervision.
2.
Prior to rating, if it is assessed by the SATCO that a trainee does not possess an adequate understanding of English, the SATCO may elect to commence administrative procedures to end ATC training and find appropriate employment for the trainee. During rating, if a trainee fails to display satisfactory progress, or if the trainee demonstrates an attitude that does not reflect a professional and serious approach to training, SATCO may elect to commence administrative procedures to end ATC training and find appropriate employment for the trainee. After rating, if a controller spends a period of time of 45 days or more without controlling, they shall be re-evaluated to ensure that their skills and local knowledge are still at a safe standard. Required Reading. The following is a list of current publications that the trainee will be responsible to read and/or review: a. b. c. d. e. KAIA LOPs; Afghanistan AIP; LOA between Bagram Approach Control and KAIA Tower; LOA between Kabul RAPCON and KAIA Tower Read-File, Training Annexes and other Publications.

Daily Training Report: At the end of each monitoring session, the monitor is required to fill out a daily training report on each trainee. This report is signed by both the monitor and trainee and is then forwarded to the D/SATCO. This form is used to record the events of the day including traffic levels, performance of the trainee, and all policies briefed. A debrief is mandatory after each session. Letter grades shall be used for assessments on the daily training report and are to be assigned relative to the trainee's ability to meet the control position standard. The letter grades are not relative to the trainee's stage of checkout. The letter grades shall be assigned as follows: A - Satisfactory - met standard in terms of traffic density and complexity during training period; B - Satisfactory with debriefing - met standard in terms of traffic density and complexity during training period, however minor monitor input was required and/or performance technique needs minor improvement; C - Unsatisfactory - Unable to meet standard in terms of traffic density and complexity during training period; or D - Not Observed. Note: The narrative must support the assigned grades. As a minimum, all B's and C's shall be supported by comments in the narrative section. The trainee must ensure that they understand all debrief points and that they may provide comments if there are any circumstances that they feel should be made known relative to a debrief.
