RE 2 Identify Specific training for pilots and air traffic controllers to avoid un-stabilized approachesCANSO has been developing a global runway excursion risk identification tool. The tool will assist in identifying potential weaknesses in the ATM system in the final phase of flight. This will provide the opportunity to strengthen human centred risk controls. The output would be a training tool/kit for ATC and pilots. This will be in the form of an education booklet.
The Secretariat issue a State letter endorsing the training material presented under WP/8, and referring States to the CANSO website for downloading of the material.
