STR,EAM ALLOTMENT AND RECENCY PROCEDURES IN TWO STREAM RATING
SYSTEM
1 lntroduction:
1.1 As part of the initiatives to enhance safety and operational efficiency and
considering the ongoing upper airspace harmonization in four metro ATC
Centers, AAI Board in its L76th Board Meeting resolved to implement the first
phase of Two Stream ATC Rating System in four metros' Accordingly, the Two
Stream ATC Rating System was implemented for the Air Traffic Controllers
posted at Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai ATC Centers w. e. f. 16th Oct
2017 . The implementation procedures were governed by ATMC 07 of 2017 '
1.2 The Two Stream ATC Rating System has led to expeditious training process
and availability of rated ATCOs' This system helps to boost the
Proficiency/Skill levels of ATCOs with lesser number of Units to focus, and
allows them to excel in a particular ATC stream. This along with reduced
stress and fatigue levels for the controllers leads to enhanced safety and
efficienry. Appropriate and effective stream management along with recency
guidelines, in line with provisions contained in Indian Aircraft Rules, 1937
ind DGCA CAR Section 9, Series L, Part II, will benefit the stations for effective
utilization of human resources in the post implementation period'
) Purpose:
Purpose of this ATMC is to streamline the post-implementation process of
two stream ATC rating system and provide guidance to ATS-ln-charges and
information to all ATM Personnel.
3 Scope:
This ATMC is applicable to ATM personnel posted at Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai
and Kolkata airports with regard to Two Stream ATC Rating System subiect to
Recency, Competency, ELPA (English Language Proficiency of ATCO)
Requirement and Medical fitness.
Phase-ll implementation at all other ATC Centres will be reviewed by
September-2020 subject to amalgamation of Upper Airspace Harmonisation.
Subsequently, after implementation of phase-ll of Two-stream ATC Rating
System, it will also be applicable at such other ATC centers, wherever it is
implemented.
4 Classification:
4.1 Two Stream ATC Ratings System is classified as:
Terminal Stream [TERS]
and
En-route Stream IENRS]
4.1.1 Terminal Stream (TERS)
a) Aerodrome Control Rating: Comprising of Aerodrome Control, Surface
Movement Control, Clearance Delivery sectors and ASMGCS or a combination
thereof.
bl Approach Control Procedural Rating:
c) Approach Control Surveillance Rating: Comprising of Arrival, Departure,
Sequencing, Final Approach Sectors or a combination thereof.
4.\.2 En-Route Stream (ENRS)
aJ Area Control Procedural Rating: Along with ADS-C/CPDLC, wherever
applicable.
b) Area Control Surveillance Rating.
c) Oceanic Control Ratings: Along with ADS-C/CPDLC, wherever applicable
5. Stream Allotment Procedure:
ATCOs posted at above four metro airports are to be assigned with either
Terminal or En-route Stream. However, for reasons of flexibility to meet the
operational requirement of rated ATCOs and OJTI9 respective ATS-ln-
charges may permit ATCOs for cross-authorization of additional ATC ratings
in another stream, subject to maintaining recency. In order to meet the above
requirements, the following guidelines are outlined for the optimum
utilization of rated manpower.
5.1.2.7 ATCOs having completed the Surveillance Course, but not started OJT in the
respective units could be assigned either of the streams.
5.1.2.8 ATCOs not having held any previous rating shall be governed by provisions
of Para 5.2.
5.r.2.9 In order to ensure availability of adequate and experienced rated manpower
and due to operational requirement, the ATCOs referred in Para 5.1.2.1 and
5.1..2.5 may be assigned the terminal stream sublect to the required
performance exhibited by the controller in the past.
5.1.3 ATCOs already allotted a particular stream in the past at an airport where
two-sfream rating system had been implemented, but were later transferred
to other airports as mentioned in Para 5.1.2, shall be allotted the same stream
on their subsequent transfer to an airport where two-stream rating system
has been implemented.
5.7 Change of Stream: Change of Stream will generally not be permitted other
than the conditions mentioned in this ATMC. However, due to operational
requiremen! ED(ATM) may permit the change of stream of an ATCO, on
receipt of proper justification along with recommendation from ATS-ln-
charge.
