PANS - OPS

Procedures for Air Navigation Services –Aircraft Operations

The "Procedures for Air Navigation Services – Aircraft Operations (PANS-OPS)" course is a specialized and important training in the field of aviation, focusing on the principles and international standards approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for designing approach, departure procedures, and air routes in a manner that ensures the highest levels of safety and efficiency. The course aims to enable participants to understand and analyze PANS-OPS applications, thereby enhancing their ability to make accurate decisions in planning and managing air operations. This training is essential for engineers, air planners, air traffic controllers, and all personnel working in the air navigation sector to ensure operations comply with global standards and achieve smooth and safe air traffic flow.

• A course designed by aviation experts with updated content that keeps pace with the latest developments in PANS-OPS.
• Qualified trainers with extensive practical experience, carefully and precisely selected.
• An interactive and engaging learning environment through case studies, applications, and realistic exercises.
• Continuous support and follow-up from our specialized team.
• Free consultation for one full month after completing the program to support post-training progress.
• Issuance of accredited certificates that enhance your CV and validate your competency:
  • Certificate of attendance from the Only Solution Training
  • Accredited certificate from Cambridge Training College/ Britain
