IPDEP_E - Instrument Procedure Design Course : Departure procedures (PBN or conventional) Mixte : e-learning / à distance

At the end of this training, the participant, as future procedure designer tutored by a senior procedure designer is able to :

• Design PBN and conventional departures procedures

Attendance of previous ENAC Instrument Procedure Design Course :

• Module 1 - IPD1 "General criteria"
• Module 2 - IPD2 "Arrival and Non Precision Approach for PBN or conventional procedures"
• Module 3 - IPD3 "Precision Approach for PBN or conventional procedures and Approach with Vertical Guidance (APV) procedures" or equivalent is required;

Attendees should be feel comfortable to communicate in English (LEVEL : Intermediate)

Exercises and assessments are provided to trainees before the session, they should be mastered prior to commencing the course.

At ENAC, according to ICAO doc 9906 volume 2, the initial training of IFR procedures designer consists of 4 main courses. Each course is completing each other. This course is considered as the fourth and last step of a thorough basic training to design IFR procedure.

The training is structured around courses, exercises and assessments to apply all the regulatory criteria addressing departure procedures.

Focus
The course deals with:

• PBN and Conventional SID (Standard Instrument Procedures),
• Omnidirectionnal departures,
• Publication,
• Procedure design documentation,

Side lectures
Complementary information may be provided on PANS-OPS related subjects.

Theoretical courses

5 days devoted to departure criteria are in remote classes and provided via the e-learning platform. They are followed by daily collaborative "all-together sessions" to reinforce and check the understanding of the presented regulatory elements.

Presentaiton and explanation of the rules and principles described in ICAO Doc 8168-PANS-OPS

Laboratory exercises

Elementary use of the regulation concepts in a simplified environment, conducted to enforce the theoretical input.

Exercises are daily scheduled

Assessment

An assessment is carried out at the training's end to identify the trainee's ability to apply procedure design criteria. At the end of the course, an individual assessment report is provided to each participant.

Assitance

Contact with referent teacher(s) is provided throughout the course.

Course materials : Courses and exercises booklets, assessments report and copy of the side-lectures.
