What We Do
The ATO's Safety & Technical Training service unit influences and addresses risk in the NAS through:
- aligning data-driven changes in the operation
- modernizing training to educate and prepare the ATO's technical workforce by focusing on timely delivery, operational priorities, and competencies
- monitoring mitigations and changes in the NAS
- informing stakeholders of our successful strategies to meet our safety goals
Our safety functions include:
- event investigation
- data analysis
- corrective actions
- training for over 14,000 air traffic controllers and over 6,000 airway transportation system specialists
- policy development, performance measurement, and promotion of a positive safety culture
We accomplish this through the combined efforts of our four directorates (Safety, Technical Training, Policy & Performance, and Strategic Outreach), and through strong stakeholder partnerships.
