Course Overview

The Air Navigation Infrastructure Design (NAVAIDS) Training Course equips participants with comprehensive technical knowledge and practical design skills required to plan, implement, and manage modern air navigation systems in line with ICAO standards. The course addresses ground-based and satellite-based navigation aids, CNS/ATM systems integration, safety assessments, and regulatory compliance. Through real-world case studies, scenario-based simulations, and group activities, participants will be empowered to enhance air traffic safety and efficiency within domestic and international airspace systems.

Duration

5 Days

Target Audience

  • Civil Aviation Engineers and Technicians

  • Airport and Airspace Planners

  • Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs)

  • Regulatory Authority Inspectors

  • Aerodrome Operations and Maintenance Officers

  • CNS/ATM Systems Engineers and Managers

Personal Impact

  • Improved technical proficiency in designing and evaluating air navigation systems.

  • Enhanced confidence in interpreting and applying international regulatory frameworks.

  • Greater ability to contribute to safe, efficient, and future-ready airspace infrastructure.

Organizational Impact

  • Improved airspace capacity and reduced delays through optimized CNS/ATM infrastructure.

  • Strengthened regulatory compliance and international audit readiness.

  • Enhanced collaboration across planning, engineering, and operations teams.

  • Safer and more cost-effective air traffic management systems.

Course Objectives

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

  • Understand ICAO frameworks, standards, and recommended practices for air navigation infrastructure.

  • Design and site ground-based navigation aids (ILS, VOR, DME, NDB) using technical parameters and safety criteria.

  • Apply performance-based navigation (PBN) concepts in airspace design.

  • Integrate CNS/ATM systems for seamless en-route and terminal air traffic operations.

  • Evaluate technical, environmental, and regulatory factors affecting navigation system deployment.
