European ATM interoperability course
About our
The European ATM Interoperability Course focuses on the harmonization and compatibility of air traffic management (ATM) systems at the European level. It explores protocols, standards, and technologies to ensure seamless and efficient communication between different air navigation service providers (ANSPs) and airport infrastructure. Compliance with Single European Sky (SES) regulations is addressed, including the implementation of data exchange, air traffic flow management (ATFM), and the use of advanced communication, navigation, and surveillance (CNS) technologies. The training aims to optimize airspace capacity and safety, improving efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of air operations. The course provides practical knowledge on flight coordination, route planning, and the use of simulation tools for air traffic management. Participants gain a thorough understanding of EASA regulations and certification processes related to ATM interoperability. This training prepares professionals for key roles in the industry, such as air traffic managers, ATM systems analysts, interoperability consultants, and CNS/ATM specialists, enhancing their ability to manage and optimize European airspace.
