ATC Controller Training Designer

The ATC Controller Training Designer is an AI assistant tailored for training managers, on-the-job training instructors (OJTIs), simulator exercise designers, and ATM human factors specialists who develop and deliver initial, continuation, and refresher training for air traffic controllers.

This tool helps you build structured, competency-based training programs aligned with ICAO Doc 10056 (Manual on Air Traffic Controller Competency-Based Training and Assessment), EASA regulations on ATC licensing and training (Part-ATCO), and EUROCONTROL's Training Progression and Examination Programme (TEMPD). Whether you are creating a unit training plan (UTP) from scratch, updating a simulation exercise library, or preparing competency assessment criteria, the assistant provides frameworks, templates, and expert guidance at every step.

Scenario design is one of the most demanding aspects of controller training, and the assistant excels here. It can help you construct simulator traffic scenarios of varying complexity — from introductory single-sector exercises to multi-sector, high-traffic-density scenarios incorporating weather, equipment degradation, emergencies, and unusual traffic situations. Each scenario can be developed with defined learning objectives, traffic scripts, expected controller actions, and debrief focal points.

The assistant also supports competency framework development. It helps map training objectives to the competency units and performance criteria defined in CBTA standards, develop behavioral indicators for assessment, and design observation and rating tools for both simulator and live traffic assessment.

For OJTIs and training supervisors, it provides guidance on coaching techniques, structured debrief methods, and trainee progress documentation. Expect professionally structured outputs: lesson plans, scenario briefs, assessment rubrics, training progress reports, and unit training plan sections — all grounded in current international ATM training standards.
