| UkSATSE provides regular refresher training for all ATC personnel both in Ukraine and abroad |
Andrii Yarmak, Director of UkSATSE: “This month, for the first time ever, the image of the airspace under the responsibility of Ukraine was displayed on the ATC simulator monitors at the Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre (MUAC).
We are grateful to our European colleagues for making it possible to maintain the competence of the UkSATSE ATCOs, which is a key factor for the resumption of full air navigation services in the Ukrainian airspace when hostilities cease.
New training courses and other training centres of our colleagues – air navigation service providers ready to host our ATCOs – are in the pipeline.”
The support of the operating activities of UkSATSE as a national air navigation service provider, the infrastructure functional state and the personnel support, in particular, the maintenance of the operational specialists’ competence, is possible thanks to the assistance of the EUROCONTROL Member States – within the framework of the European ATM Voluntary Solidarity Fund that has been in place since the beginning of 2023.
In early July, UkSATSE received part of the third tranche of funding, which will enable it to continue all the projects and programmes already underway.
It is worth recalling that under the skills maintenance programme, Ukrainian ATCOs had the opportunity to attend a refresher training course at Ecole Nationale de l’Aviation Civile (ENAC - National School of Civil Aviation) in Toulouse, France, which allowed them to improve their knowledge of approach and aerodrome air traffic control. 
Ukrainian specialists have also completed training in the Design of ATC Simulation Exercises and Courses (HUM-SIM) course in Luxembourg at the EUROCONTROL Institute of Air Navigation Services (IANS) and the UARC Renewal Training Course in Maastricht, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, based on the MUAC simulation facility.
This training will help ATCOs and OJTIs to improve their professional skills and acquire the knowledge necessary to provide simulation training and further ATCOs assessment in the respective UkSATSE ATM Centres.
The transparency and accountability of the use of funds received by UkSATSE from EUROCONTROL should also be highlighted. Funding is subject to a detailed cost estimate and a positive evaluation by external auditors.
We have a preliminary political support for the continuation of the Fund operations as an indicator of the effective use of the money.
At the most recent meeting of the EUROCONTROL Provisional Council held last month, the Member States expressed their willingness to consider the continuation of the European ATM Voluntary Solidarity Fund. |
