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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
