TRAINING OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS FROM ANGOLA CONCLUDES IN SENASA

Madrid, September 29th, 2023

 

Concludes in SENASA the training of a new team of international air traffic controllers from the Angolan Air Navigation Services provider, the ENNA-EP (Empresa Nacional de Navegação Aérea de la República de Angola),. This promotion of students, formed by two groups of 10 and 14 people respectively, have completed their training at SENASA's School of Air Traffic Control in Madrid, with the aim of increasing the capacity of air traffic management and improve aviation safety in the African country.

 

This training was divided into two stages: the first, focused on Approach with Surveillance Training with APS Ratings, was carried out between June and August by the first group of Angolan trainee controllers. In a second stage, from August to September, a second group of 14 trainees focused their training on Enroute with Surveillance, which will lead to the ACS Rating. This training and the corresponding ratings enable this new professional team to convert from procedural air traffic control to surveillance air traffic control.

 

SENASA carries out these courses as a result of an agreement with ENNA-EP, which seeks to promote collaboration, support and mutual advice on training projects and aeronautical training, among other matters. This is the first time that SENASA trains Angolan air traffic controllers, which sum up to a long experience in international air traffic control training, having previously instructed professionals from countries such as Cape Verde, Ghana, Mozambique or Georgia.

 

Since it began its activity in 1995, more than 3,500 national and international students have already been trained at SENASA's Air Traffic Control School. SENASA has more than 14,000 sq meters of facilities for the education and training of air traffic controllers, with replica tower, approach and area simulators equipped with SACTA technology, which has made it a national and international reference centre for the training of air traffic control professionals.
