RATING COURSE
practical element which utilises

delivered in a specialized
The Rating Training is designed to impart to the learners the required knowledge, understanding and skills which
will enable them to progress to the pre-on-the-job and on-the-job training at unit. The majority of the training
takes place in the simulator where students apply what they learn in the classroom
This course will be taught in
ROMATSA training center

UNIT TRAINING PLAN
Following Initial Training at

ROMATSA Training system,
students continue their unit training at ATC units. During this period, students consolidate their previously
acquired knowledge and skills during advanced simulation and finally in a live traffic enviroment under
supervision of an instructor before obtaining their licence.

Understanding human errors and safety means, that the students, after having performed the module, have
sufficient comprehension of both topics to explain the relationship between error and safety, state the different
types of error and differentiate between errors and violation, and describe error-prone conditions.
In the module, the students will be asked to explain
the main ideas, demonstrate, state, characterise,
interpret, differentiate, describe/ put in their own
words the materials on errors and safety that are the
contents of the module.
