Electronics Personnel (ATSEP) that brings
together Air Traffic Safety engineers,
technicians and technologists from all over
the world.
In 1962, Thomas Samuel Kuhn
defined the concept of “paradigm shift”.
He explained in his work The Structure
of Scientific Revolution, that scientific
advancement is a “series of peaceful
interludes punctuated by intellectually
violent revolutions”, and in those
revolutions “one conceptual world view
is replaced by another”. It is a
revolutionary change from one way of
thinking to another.
Changes in ATM technology and
Communication, Navigation, Surveillance
(CNS) ATM systems are inevitable, but
the human will always play a key role in
keeping our systems safe. ATM can always
rely upon dedicated staff. The ATM safety
chain remains the highest priority of all
stakeholders. The high level of
professionalism of pilots, ATCOs and
ATSEPs will ensure that our future systems
will continue to work safely and efficiently.
Today, with the development of SESAR
and NextGen, the ‘paradigm shift’ has
become the new buzzword in aviation
automation. Moving from procedural
estimates of current and planned aircraft
positions to radar was a big step in
aviation. But now we are facing the move
from ‘knowing the current position of
aircraft and estimating their planned
position’, to a concept of ‘trajectory
knowing and sharing’.
The ATSEP community, mostly
invisible to the public, that maintains
CNS/ATM systems and infrastructure
will now have to adapt to newer, more
sophisticated and more powerful tools.
The ATSEP duties ‘shift’ from a
‘supporting’ function to the humancentred
core of the system. The ATSEP
will have to prepare to become the
system’s personal lifeguard and will have to
guarantee 100 per cent system reliability,
required under all circumstances.
In this global ATM, security of systems
becomes a challenge for ensuring safety.

The System-Wide Information
Management is a global ‘internet’
network that will be accessed by multiple
categories of users worldwide. ATSEPs
from all over the world will have to
ensure quality, reliability, accuracy,
availability and security of this global
highway of information. Security
protection and access control, along with
other lines of defences, will guarantee
safe operation.
The International Civil Aviation
Organisation (ICAO) has developed the
Global Aviation Safety Plan and works with
all stakeholders to implement it. At its 36th
Assembly, held in September 2007, the 190
Contracting States of ICAO recognised this
‘shift’ in roles and responsibilities of pilots,
ATCOs and ATSEPs. The assembly agreed
to “the concept of establishing licensing
requirements for ATSEP”. Once
implemented worldwide, the ATSEP licence
will ensure competency and qualification of
all ATSEPs at a global level, thus setting a
new balance between people, procedures
and technology.
Working together will ensure the full
benefits of a safe, secure and efficient Air
Navigation Service.

Providing capacity,
safety and efficiency
As predicted, there is no let-up in air
traffic growth and EUROCONTROL is
preparing, alongside its aviation partners,
to meet an expected 4.6 per cent rise in
traffic levels in the summer period of
2008. The overall complexity of the Air
Traffic Management (ATM) network
during this period will also be greatly
affected by the European Football
Championships in Austria and
Switzerland. The higher levels of traffic,
combined with the uncertainty of flight
patterns as the Championships progress
through the knock-out stages, will be a
significant indication of just how well
programmes like the Dynamic
Management of the European Airspace
Network (DMEAN) can help the network
absorb sudden surges in flights to and
