Meeting the demands of ICAO 10057 means more than checking boxes—it requires deep, hands-on training that prepares ATSEPs for real-world complexity at taxonomy levels 3, 4, and beyond. SkyRadar provides a modular and fully scalable training ecosystem to help aviation academies and ANSPs deliver just that.

ICAO 10057 mandates hands-on ATSEP training in System Monitoring & Control (SMC). Learn how aviation academies can implement compliant, high-quality training.

ICAO 10057 mandates hands-on ATSEP training in Data Processing (DPR). Learn how aviation academies can implement compliant, high-quality training.

ICAO Doc 10057 establishes strict requirements for NAVAIDS training, emphasizing taxonomy Level 3 and above, meaning applied learning through simulation and hands-on exercises is essential.

Reliable communication (COM) systems are the backbone of Air Traffic Control (ATC), ensuring seamless interaction between pilots, controllers, and ATSEP personnel. These systems encompass VHF, UHF, HF, voice-over-IP (VoIP), and data-link technologies, all essential for safe and efficient air traffic management.

Surveillance (SUR) is the backbone of modern Air Traffic Control (ATC), providing real-time situational awareness to controllers. It includes Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR), Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR), ADS-B, and multilateration (MLAT). These technologies ensure safe airspace management by tracking aircraft positions, verifying identification, and maintaining operational efficiency.

Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP) play a critical role in ensuring the seamless operation of aviation infrastructure. Their training must comply with ICAO Doc 10057, which mandates high taxonomy levels (typically Level 3 and above) for applied learning. Many traditional training programs fail to meet these requirements, focusing on theoretical instruction rather than practical, hands-on experience.

This article describes how to insure compliance with ICAO Doc 10057 by integrating SkyRadar’s hands-on ATSEP Surveillance Qualification tools for Levels 3, 4, and 5.

This article describes how FreeScopes Basic III and IV enhance ATSEP training across Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance for Levels 2–5 in ICAO taxonomy.
