2. ANS legislation, national and international regulations, organizations (ICAO, ECAC, EUROCONTROL, EASA)
3. Division of airspace and airports, airspace classes, TRA, TSA, CTA, routes vs. FRA (Free Route Airspace)
4. Aviation information service AIM, publications, cartography, reprographic and distribution departments, NOTAM, AUP, AISview
5. ATC - division of habitats (TWR, APP, ACC, TC, FIC, SAR, reporting offices), specifics of individual habitats, partial workplaces of individual services (TEC, TPC, GND, DEL, SC)
6. Communication and coordination process within ATC, verbal, non-verbal electronic (AFTN, SITA, OLDI messages)
7. Principles of air traffic control, spacing, division, examples
8. Instrument approach procedures from the ATC point of view, LVO from the ATC point of view
9. ATM planning procedures: ASM (airspace management), ATFCM (flow and capacity management), NMOC (CFMU), new SESAR procedures - user driven prioritization process, rolling airspace management
10. Radar systems - PSR, SSR, AMSGSC, MLAT, E2000 display system, ARTAS tracker, data conversion and distribution system (RMCDE)
11. Management information systems - ESUP flight plan processing systems, combined information system IDP, WALDO, radar by-pass, electronic strip system EFS, data communication systems with AGDL, ACARS, CPDLC aircraft
