2025 Agenda

Air navigation service providers are facing growing operational complexity, rapid technology change, and increasing pressure to strengthen civil–military coordination. Yet traditional ATC training models often remain focused on content delivery rather than real operational performance. Other safety‑critical industries have demonstrated that using operational data, competency‑based methods, and modern training architectures can significantly improve workforce readiness.

This panel explores how these proven approaches, combined with emerging technologies, can be applied to transform ATC training. It will examine how operational insight and data‑driven performance measurement can enhance instructional capability, enable adaptive learning pathways, and support consistent, objective assessment through clear evaluation frameworks. The discussion will also address the need for stronger civil‑military preparedness, highlighting how shared competency baselines and realistic mixed‑use training scenarios can improve coordination, flexibility, and operational resilience.

By bringing these elements together, the panel will outline what a performance‑driven ATC training ecosystem can look like, one that uses operational intelligence and modern learning science to guide curriculum design, continuous improvement, and faster competency development. These approaches offer ANSPs a credible path to strengthen safety today while preparing controller workforces for the demands of future airspace systems.
