The Future of Military Air Traffic Control
9 September - 10 September 1999
The Future of Military Air Traffic Control

This unique event will consider all of the latest developments in the field of air traffic control for the armed forces and will examine in detail the new technologies currently driving future initiatives. Issues such as airspace policy, training and simulation and procurement of new systems and will be analyzed in detail. The conference will also give a global perspective of the military’s position within the air traffic management environment.

The conference offers you the opportunity to network with key military, research and industry experts. As a senior industry executive, you will be aware of the importance and potential of this field. We would therefore like to invite you to register for SAE Media Group’s The Future of Military Air Traffic Control. As you will see from the brochure, key speakers include representatives from the US Air Force, US Navy, EUROCONTROL, SWISSCONTROL and DERA.

To compliment this conference a half day pre conference workshop is being run in association with Wavionix Software: Aerospace Procedure Systems

The workshop has been specifically designed to increase the technical knowledge of the attendees and will look at how procedure software can be used as a tool to eliminate trial and error as well as generating and checking procedures for airspace manoeuvring. The workshop will also address 3D airspace management and routing for military ATC systems.

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
