National Air Traffic Control Training Program
The GCAA-Sheikh Zayed Air Navigation Centre (SZC) eagerly offers the ATC Training program for UAE Nationals and aims for maximizing the number of potential and capable UAE national controllers.
Program Objectives:
Upon completion of the ATC Training Phases, the Air Traffic Control Officer (ATCO) will be able to:
Facilitate the flow of air traffic in the UAE Flight Information Region (FIR).
Separate aircrafts in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO) and UAE Civil Aviation Regulations (CARs) to prevent Mid-air collision.
Warn flight crew about danger, restricted and prohibited zones that might compromise the safety of the flight.
Sequence aircrafts arriving at UAE airports and vice versa in addition to passing information to adjacent ATC units.
Handle emergencies, unusual occurrences and complex situations.
Area Control
This unique type of ATC is responsible for controlling the air traffic volume flying over and in the UAE skies. Every aircraft that departs, arrives, and overflies the UAE airspace communicates with an Air Traffic Control Officer (ATCO) operating at the UAE Area Control Centre (ACC) located at Sheikh Zayed Air Navigation Centre (SZC). The ATCO role is to direct and guide flight crew toward their destination or toward the adjacent ATC units. Therefore, the SZC serves as a link between different entities in case of emergencies that comprise any potential to adversely affect the safety of the flight.
