We have been delivering Military Airfield Lighting – AGL Military Training since 2016 in the UK, Europe, USA and Canada.

ATC have designed a separate series of specialised training programmes for Military Airfields that includes introductory, intermediate and advanced level. Each military AGL training programme is designed specifically for the each Military Country.

This course explains the main principles of Aviation Ground Lighting. The course demonstrates how AGL has progressed and reacted to the changing needs of modern aircraft and airfields. This introductory level course explains the current design formats and layouts specifically for AGL military airfield lighting systems and their unique colour and functions. Delegates are taught the correct maintenance procedures and principles of maintaining efficient AGL lighting systems this includes several practical sessions on how to set & site luminaires across several airfield locations.  The course additionally provides delegates with a unique opportunity to work with and comprehend MCS (control Systems), AGL Constant Current Regulators, Airfield Signage and AGL Primary & Secondary Circuits used across airfields; firstly, in a classroom and then in monitored practical sessions.

The Military Airfield Ground Lighting Course enforces to the delegates that Safety is of prime importance when working airside. The course explains both the application of the ‘Health and Safety at Work Act’ and the ‘Electricity at Work Act’ as applied to Aviation Ground Lighting as well as other safety related issues in relation to working ‘airside’. The course is based on information provided in MOD publication, JSP554, JSP 375 chapter 3. However additional material is also taken from ICAO Annex 14 and any relevant supplements.

This course has several night time sessions set for the delegates to complete to help monitor individual’s progress throughout the course. Additional 1-2-1 training help and support will be offered to any delegate requiring it.
