Description

Objective:

The course objective is for military personnel (i.e., US Air Force) whose primary duty is to develop instrument approach and departure procedures that conform to US TERPS standards. Graduates of this course will have a comprehensive knowledge of criteria and the design fundamentals as developed using the USAF Global Procedure Developer program. Training will consist of lecture, exercises, and automation application exploring the topics of: TERPS Management, Basic TERPS Criteria, TERPS Automation Database, Non-Precision Approach segments, Area Navigation (RNAV), Precision Approach Procedures, Diverse Departures, Route Departures, RADAR Procedures and RADAR Charts. This course is GROUP Paced.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Apply the basic TERPS Principles and Database Administration
  • Demonstrate use of the USAF GPD system to construct and document Instrument Approach and Departure Procedures with minimal assistance
  • Apply basic TERPS principles as they pertain to the USAF GPD system and the construction and documentation of Instrument Flight Procedures with minimal assistance
  • Manage the TERPS Database Administration as it pertains to the USAF GPD system and the construction and documentation of Instrument Flight Procedures with minimal assistance
