Practical Approach to Training
Singapore Aviation Academy
The Singapore Aviation Academy (SAA) is the training arm of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore
(CAAS). An internationally-recognised aviation training institute, SAA offers a wide range of operational and
management programmes that benchmark international standards and best practices to meet the training
needs of the global aviation community. Besides building resources and competencies for the aviation
industry, it also serves as an international platform for the sharing of knowledge and experiences through its
conferences and forums. Since its establishment in 1958, SAA has trained over 52,000 participants from
190 countries.
As a centre of excellence for aviation learning and thought leadership, the Academy constantly keeps pace
with developments in international civil aviation and offers new programmes on current topical issues.
School of Air Traffic Services
The School of Air Traffic Services conducts a wide range of courses in air traffic control
operations and management for controllers, airspace planners and managers. Training
is supported by a suite of customised state-of-the-art equipment, simulating real-life
environment. Best practices in air traffic management, safety audits and human factors are
shared through its management programmes.
The School provides highly practical and personalised training. Instructors for operational courses are regularly rotated between the
School and CAAS’ operational units to ensure that their professional skills are up-to-date. Practical training constitutes 75 percent
of the total instructional time. For practical exercises, the instructor-trainee ratio is maintained at 1:1. For management courses,
overseas and local experts are also invited to provide insights into the latest trends and developments in air traffic services.
Customised Facilities
To provide realistic training, the School is equipped with advanced air traffic control (ATC) simulators and other training facilities with
state-of-the-art features which are used for the training of new controllers, conducting of refresher courses as well as for the testing
and validation of ATC procedures.
A “virtual” Aerodrome Control Simulator creates a 360° paranomic view of the airfield for training in both single and dual runway
operations, and features seamless high definition imagery with three-dimensional aircraft and vehicles to achieve high levels of
realism in training. Training in enroute, terminal and combined enroute/terminal operations are conducted using the Surveillance
Simulator. A Procedural Simulator provides training in directing aircraft through crowded skies without using modern radar.
Customised Training
Cancellation Policy
In addition to regular courses, customised training programmes are also
developed to meet specific user requirements for training in various
aspects of planning, operations and management.
Cancellation notice must be given at least two weeks
before the training commences, otherwise only 25
percent of the fees will be refunded. No refund will be
granted in the event that the Academy is not notified
or the cancellation is made on or after programme
commencement. Substitution of participants may be
granted with the Academy’s approval.
Application and Registration
Participants are required to complete application forms for courses and
workshops and registration forms for conferences and seminars. Online
application and registration are also available on the Academy’s website.
Application/registration forms and fees should be submitted at least
four weeks before the programme commences or by the stipulated
closing date for special programmes. Remittance of fees can be made
by telegraphic transfer, credit card or bankdraft together with the
submission of the application/registration form.
Organisations who submit three or more registrations at the same time
and with the same billing source are entitled to the following group
discounts:
2
•
Three to six : 10%
•
Seven to nine : 15%
•
Ten or more : 20%
3
Accommodation and
Transportation
Participants are usually accommodated at nearby hotels
or other hotels which provide transport to and from
the Academy. The Academy is also easily accessible
by public transport. Requests for assistance in hotel
reservations from participants are welcome.

This course provides an in-depth understanding of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)’s English language
proficiency requirements for international civil aviation. It also provides participants with hands-on practice on the use of English and
radiotelephony (RTF) phraseologies commonly used by pilots and air traffic controllers under the guidance of a language specialist.
Participants will learn how to use plain English in emergency and abnormal situations, improve their fluency in the English language
and also gain confidence in the use of RTF phraseologies.

1. An IFR flight operating into Singapore Changi Airport may be cleared for a visual approach subject to the following
conditions :a)
The pilot has the aerodrome in sight and can conduct his approach with visual reference to terrain;
b)
The flight will not cause delay to other traffic;
c)
There is no conflicting tall vessel movement;
d)
The cloud ceiling at the aerodrome is 4,000ft or more for landing on RWY 20C/R and 3,000ft or more for
on RWY 02C/L ; and
01° e) The visibility at the aerodrome is 5km or more.
Notwithstanding para 1d) and 1e), if the pilot reports that he has the aerodrome in sight and can conduct his
10'2. approach
with visual reference to terrain, the flight may be cleared for a visual approach.
N3. Pilots may expect radar vectoring for separation and sequencing with other traffic prior to being cleared for a visual
approach.

Aeronautical English: Train the Tester Workshop
Aeronautical Search and Rescue Operations
OBJECTIVES
OBJECTIVES
This workshop provides a better understanding of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)’s English language
requirements for international civil aviation and the skills and tools required to build a suitable test method based on ICAO’s
guidance material and scenarios relevant to their job. Partcipants will also benefit from the sharing of knowledge and methodologies
with other regulators and language specialists.
This course provides theoretical and practical knowledge on aeronautical search and rescue (SAR) operations and prepares
participants to conduct SAR operations in their respective Rescue Coordination Centres (RCCs). General SAR procedures as well as
procedures relating specifically to aeronautical SAR will be covered. Participants will also have an opportunity to observe a full-scale
SAR exercise for a better feel of how the theories discussed are applied in an operating environment.
