3Twenty Aviation is proud to announce its collaboration with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Guild of Air Traffic Control Officers (GATCO), British Airline Pilots’ Association (BALPA), and British Airways to rewrite CAP 475, a critical document outlining emergency procedures for air traffic controllers. This initiative falls under the CAP745 project, aimed at improving safety protocols within the aviation industry.
As part of this collaboration, 3Twenty Aviation facilitated a series of simulated emergency scenarios designed to refine and enhance the handling procedures outlined in CAP 475. These simulations focused on key factors crucial to effective emergency management by air traffic controllers, ensuring readiness and resilience in critical situations.
“Our partnership with CAA, GATCO and BALPA underscores our commitment to advancing aviation safety through comprehensive training and procedural refinement,” said Daniel George, Co-Founder of 3Twenty Aviation. “By leveraging our state-of-the-art simulation facilities and expertise, we contribute directly to the evolution of air traffic control protocols that safeguard our skies.”
The involvement of British Airways provided invaluable insights and practical perspectives from frontline aviation professionals, further enriching the development of CAP 475. This collaborative effort not only aims to meet current industry standards but also anticipates future challenges in air traffic management.
“We are honored to work alongside industry leaders and regulators on this pivotal project,” added Mr. George. “Together, we are setting new benchmarks in emergency preparedness and response capabilities for air traffic controllers.”
The revised CAP 475 will incorporate findings and recommendations from these simulations, ensuring that air traffic controllers across the UK are equipped with the latest tools and protocols to manage emergencies effectively. This initiative reflects 3Twenty Aviation’s ongoing commitment to excellence in aviation training and safety.
