COMMUNICATION NAVIGATION AND SURVEILLANCE

This course introduces participants to the principles and operation of Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) and its role in modern Air Traffic Management (ATM). Unlike Primary Surveillance Radar, which detects aircraft by reflected radio waves, SSR works by communicating directly with aircraft transponders to obtain essential information such as aircraft identity, altitude, and other surveillance data. This capability enables air traffic controllers to monitor and manage air traffic more accurately and efficiently.
