 Services / Safety training: ATM Safety Assessment Course

Many people working in the field of Air Traffic Management deal with safety assessments or safety cases, however only a few actually execute safety assessments. As a technical project leader you may need to interpret the safety case results. As a manager you may need to decide on how much resources to allocate, and to allocate the execution of the process to an organisation or people. As an CAA employee you may have the duty to judge whether a new operation is sufficiently safe according to regulations. A concept designer might require more understanding of what the safest concept or procedure would be.

NLR-ATSI offers a course in ATM safety assessments to bring you up-to-date with the safety assessment process.

Target audience
The course is suitable for everyone involved in safety assessments or who deals with the results of those assessments. If you would like to know more about ATM safety assessments, this course is an excellent starting point, but it is remarked that safety analysts whose job it is to execute safety assessments are not among the target audience.

At the moment, dedicated courses are available for self-organised groups. Such a group can be a selection of managers of several departments within a ANSP, a team of technical experts working on one project or the main players from regulator, inspectorate and safety management unit in a certain state. Individual subscription is not yet possible.

Content of the course
The course is on ATM safety assessment and structures relevant lessons learnt, common practices, some historic developments, applied approaches and generally accepted ideas. It basically shows that there is a lot of existing material in the world of ATM safety assessments, and that there is still discussion going on what is the best approach.

Each course will be tailored upon the wishes of the group. It contains a fixed core and several modules in which specific subjects are treated in more details. The general outline of the course consists of three modules:

 

Module I: ATM safety
General safety lessons
Generic concepts in ATM safety
Constituent parts in ATM
ATM safety in relation to other aspects

Module II: ATM safety assessments
Approaches and Methodologies
Techniques
Common steps

Module III: Risk evaluation
Risk Criteria
Frequency assessment
Severity assessment

Way of training
We dislike bullet wise PowerPoint presentations with too many slides and words. Therefore we intent to give a rather dynamic and interactive training, assisted by exercises, role-playing, video, discussions, and, indeed, PowerPoint presentations. We ask you to participate actively, to come up with your experience, and to disagree with trainers and other trainees.

Practical information
Price, duration and perspective of the course depend on your needs and wishes. As a guideline, the typical numbers of participants is 3 to 10 and a typical duration is 3 to 6 days.
