skills to the Aerodrome Flight Information Service

Officer students in order to enable them to qualify
for an AFIS student certificate of competency for
Aerodrome Flight Information Service with Radar.

TRAINING MODULE OBJECTIVES

After completion of the module the student shall
have:
ii Knowledge, skills and understanding in accordance with the training objectives as outline briefly
on the back page.
ii Skills to handle traffic safely and in according to
rules and regulations.
ii Abilities to provide an orderly and expeditious
aerodrome flight information service in an AFIS
tower environment.

TRAINING OVERVIEW
The training is divided into five phases with a blend
of theoretical and practical training with increasing
degrees of difficulty.
Theoretical events will be followed by practical applications in a simulator. The theoretical lessons
are aimed to prepare the students for the simulator
training as well as for future challenges in the AFIS
tower.
Theoretical lessons include: training in Human factors
such as professional conduct, CISM and TRM/CRM as
well as training in AFIS related tasks such as ALRS;
FIS; snow procedures and aircraft performance.
