CAA RUNNING TRAINING FOR NORTH KOREANS

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The Aeronautical Information Service (AIS) at Mongolia’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has launched an advanced training for aeronautical information experts of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). This training has been held at a request of the North Korean side within a cooperation in technical assistance between the AIS of the two countries. The N.Korean side had asked to involve its people in this training during international training, which was co-organized last year in Mongolia by the Boeing and Airbus with participation of experts from Malaysia and North Korea. The trainees received information about the #15 annex of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), ICAO #37 amendment and on the ICAO Roadmap for the Transition from AIS to AIM, future ATM system and its role in AIS. A director of the COSCAP/NA programme Wayne Chapin and an expert at ICAO Shane Sumner have rendered big support in running this training.
