ANAC AVSEC Instructor - Aerodrome Operators (Instrutor AVSEC - Operador de Aeródromo - IOAD) study plan

ANAC AVSEC Instructor - Aerodrome Operators (Instrutor AVSEC - Operador de Aeródromo - IOAD) · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

International and National Civil Aviation Security Legal Framework (ICAO Annex 17, ICAO Doc 8973, national AVSEC regulations)

  • Map each Annex 17 Standard and Recommended Practice to the corresponding national AVSEC requirement and record the mapping in a comparison table

  • Explain the structure and purpose of ICAO Doc 8973 guidance to a peer without consulting notes

  • Distinguish the roles of ICAO, the national competent authority and the aerodrome operator in the legal chain

  • Define the terms 'act of unlawful interference' and 'security restricted area' in writing using only official-source wording

Your checkpoint

A two-page legal-framework summary table linking Annex 17 provisions, Doc 8973 guidance and national regulation articles, checked against source texts

Week 2

International and National Civil Aviation Security Legal Framework (ICAO Annex 17, ICAO Doc 8973, national AVSEC regulations) & AVSEC Organization, Roles and Responsibilities of Aerodrome Operators and Competent Authorities

  • Describe the oversight relationship between the competent authority and the aerodrome operator, including notification and reporting duties

  • Draft an organisational chart showing AVSEC responsibilities from authority level down to airside supervisory level

  • List the operator's documented security accountabilities and match each to a named role

  • Identify which national enforcement mechanisms apply when an operator fails a compliance requirement

Your checkpoint

An annotated organisational chart with a one-paragraph role description for every box, plus a responsibility matrix (RACI-style) covering at least ten AVSEC functions

Week 3

Aerodrome Security Programme and Contingency Planning

  • Outline the mandatory components of an aerodrome security programme and justify each component's purpose

  • Draft a contingency annex for one scenario (e.g. bomb threat) with activation triggers, command chain and communication paths

  • Compare programme-review cycles and explain how findings feed back into the plan

  • Write measurable security objectives that a programme could be audited against

Your checkpoint

A draft aerodrome security programme table of contents with a completed contingency annex for one scenario, reviewed against a self-built checklist of required elements

Week 4

Aerodrome Security Programme and Contingency Planning & Access Control, Perimeter Security and Airside/Restricted Area Protection

  • Design an access-control scheme for a hypothetical aerodrome specifying zones, permit types and vetting prerequisites

  • Explain perimeter protection measures and identify at least five weaknesses in a described fencing and patrol arrangement

  • Sequence the steps for issuing, suspending and revoking an access permit

  • Justify challenge procedures and escort rules for unescorted versus escorted access

Your checkpoint

A zone-and-permit matrix for a hypothetical aerodrome plus a written critique of five perimeter weaknesses with a mitigation for each

Week 5

Access Control, Perimeter Security and Airside/Restricted Area Protection & Screening of Persons, Baggage, Cargo and Mail at Aerodromes

  • Describe screening methods for persons, cabin and hold baggage, cargo and mail, and state what each method can and cannot detect

  • Explain the purpose and limits of random and continuous screening measures

  • Outline cargo and mail chain-of-custody controls from acceptance to aircraft loading

  • Identify the reporting actions required when screening equipment or procedures fail

Your checkpoint

A one-page screening reference sheet covering method, target, detection limits and failure-reporting action for each screening category

Week 6

Response to Acts of Unlawful Interference and Emergency Management & Human Factors, Security Culture and Insider Threat Awareness

  • Draft a response checklist for two unlawful-interference scenarios, naming first actions, notification order and record-keeping duties

  • Explain how human factors such as fatigue, complacency and authority gradient affect security performance, with a concrete aerodrome example for each

  • Describe at least four observable indicators of insider threat risk and the reporting route for each

  • Design three questions that test security-culture awareness rather than factual recall

Your checkpoint

A response checklist for two scenarios plus an insider-threat indicator card listing indicators, reporting routes and a short briefing note for staff

Week 7

Instructional Design, Adult Learning Principles and AVSEC Training Programme Development

  • Write three terminal performance objectives that state the observable action, the condition and the standard

  • Sequence a lesson from simple recall to applied decision-making using a recognised adult-learning progression

  • Select instructional methods matched to a psychomotor screening task and a cognitive regulatory task

  • Build an assessment blueprint that maps each objective to at least one test item type

Your checkpoint

A complete lesson plan for one 45-minute AVSEC topic containing objectives, method choices, timing, materials and a matching assessment blueprint

Week 8

Instructional Design, Adult Learning Principles and AVSEC Training Programme Development & Training Delivery, Assessment, Evaluation and Instructor Competency

  • Deliver a 15-minute micro-teach from the week-7 lesson plan and self-evaluate against a written instructor-competency checklist

  • Construct valid written and practical assessment items with defined pass standards and marking criteria

  • Design a course-evaluation form covering reaction, learning and on-the-job behaviour levels

  • Compile a personal remediation list from all eight weeks and schedule review actions

Your checkpoint

A recorded or peer-observed 15-minute micro-teach with a completed self-evaluation checklist, a ten-item assessment with marking criteria, and a one-page personal remediation plan

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 80% on a self-made 20-question quiz covering domains 1 and 2, and confirm the legal mapping table cites only official sources

Week 4: Produce the access-control matrix and perimeter critique unaided within 90 minutes, and pass a peer or self-review against the required-elements checklist

Week 6: Complete both scenario checklists and the insider-threat card, then explain each item aloud without notes for five minutes

Week 8: Deliver the micro-teach, score at least 80% on the ten-item assessment you wrote, and finish the remediation plan with dated review actions
