correctly conducted; d) the formal mechanism by which the controller will be notified of the result of any
competence assessment; e) the method by which the unit keeps controllers’ competence records. Assessment for competence should be conducted when there is a representative
traffic sample in respect of the traffic levels and the range of procedures to be used. The use of simulators to demonstrate competence is not permitted except that a
specifically approved simulator may be used to demonstrate the application of
procedures not seen during that assessment.
The CAA will audit Unit Competence Schemes.
9.3 Roles and Responsibilities
9.3.1 Providers of Air Traffic Services
Providers of air traffic services, at units where they are responsible for the provision of air traffic control services, must have processes, procedures and competent personnel to ensure that the controllers providing the air traffic control service at those units are competent.
Providers shall satisfy this responsibility by implementing an approved Unit Competence Scheme and by ensuring that all controllers complete TRUCE and are assessed in their competence to handle unusual circumstances and aircraft in emergency, as detailed in section 10 of this part of this document.
9.4 Competence Examination by Inspectors of ATS
At units that do not have Unit Competence Examiners, the Unit Competence Scheme shall provide that Inspectors of ATS will conduct the annual competence assessments.
An Inspector of ATS will assess all controllers in all the operational positions for which they hold current unit endorsements to ensure they are competent to exercise the privileges of their ratings and rating endorsements (if any) while providing an air traffic control service on the particular sector(s) or operational position(s) detailed in their unit endorsements.
9.5 Roles and Responsibilities
9.5.1 Unit Competence Examiners and Inspectors of ATS Unit competence examiners (UCEs) and Inspectors of ATS shall be responsible for
determining whether the controllers they are assessing are competent to exercise
the privileges of their ATC licences in respect of particular unit endorsements.
A UCE is only authorised to assess for continuing competence for the renewal of a
unit endorsement on sector(s) or operational position(s) for which his ratings are valid.
UCEs and Inspectors of ATS shall ensure that controllers whose competence they
examine towards the renewal of a unit endorsement:
a) hold a current air traffic controller licence;
b) hold current unit endorsements for the sector(s) or operational position(s) for
which competence is to be assessed; c) have successfully completed TRUCE training and been assessed as competent to handle unusual circumstances and aircraft in emergency; d) hold a current medical certificate of the appropriate class.
9.6 Conduct of Annual Competence Examinations by Inspectors of ATS The competence check conducted by an Inspector of ATS will consist of: a) a practical check in all operational positions indicated on the controller’s current
unit endorsement; b) an oral assessment, which may be conducted as part of the practical debrief or as a separate assessment.
