Concept

Basic PANS-OPS training provides foundational knowledge for designing instrument flight procedures based on ICAO Doc 8168 (PANS-OPS), focusing on obstacle clearance, departure, arrival, and approach segments (precision and non-precision) using conventional navigation.

Learning outcomes

Having completed the course, the student should be able to design conventional instrument flight procedures in accordance with ICAO Doc 8168.

A final examination covering both theoretical knowledge and practical application evaluates each student.

Prerequisites

The language of instruction is English. Attendees must be proficient at least to CEFR Level B2, STANAG 6001 Level 3, or ICAO Level 4.

Each trainee shall be equipped with their own material to properly conduct exercises (paper, calculator, protractor, …)

Method of instruction

In-person classroom instruction combined with practical exercises, including homework.

Duration

Approximately 140 classroom hours.
