Roberts FIR implements a new Console, VCCS and ATM System 

Roberts FIR has implemented a new console and VCCS and ATM systems. The VCCS  consists of a fully redundant voice and data packet switching system that supports  Radio, Air to Ground voice and data transfer communications between pilots and air traffic controllers. And Telephone, Ground to Ground voice communication between Area Control Centers (ACC).
The system uses Voice over IP (VoIP) technology with SIP protocol for internal and external communications.  

Air Traffic Controller Training

​Over a period of two to three years the Ab Initio or student air traffic controllers undergo training at the ATNS Aviation Training Academy (theoretical and simulation training) and the Roberts Area Control Center (familiarization and OJT). Typically, students follow an eight to twelve-weeks’ basic course that covers most of the theoretical subjects. The student (Ab Initio) air traffic controllers may then spend two or three months at the Roberts ACC (supervised by the local training unit) familiarizing themselves with the air traffic control environment and performing elementary tasks. On returning to the training institute the students commence specialized training for aerodrome procedural, approach procedural/radar and area procedural/radar. At the end of approximately twenty-four weeks of simulator training students return to the Roberts ACC to start unit training. Ideally, there students would then spend time at the local training unit completing transition training and pre-OJT. The final period of OJT prior to licensing can last six months to a year. Minimum experience requirements are determined for each air traffic control unit.
