Greetings from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Greetings from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport The Republic of Korea quickly yet firmly rebuilt itself from the ruins of the Korean War and now proudly stands as one of the leading nations in the international aviation community. What helped Korea gain such strong foothold in global aviation society despite its short history in aviation is a great amount of support from the globe in establishing a specialized Civil Aviation Training Center wherein aviation professionals could be nurtured in a focused training courses. In a great deal of efforts to repay the international aviation society for its encouragement and support, Korea launched the free ICAO fellowship training program in order to support member states and contribute to the development of global aviation in 2001. For the past 20 years, over 2,500 aviation professionals from 133 countries have been trained and those who have completed the courses are working hard in every corner of the world to maintain a safe sky. Korea’s transformation from a recipient country to one of the leading countries in global aviation community is the result of trust and encouragement extended to Korea by the member states as well as the result of trust and commitment of Korea to the community. 4

During the 40th Assembly of ICAO held last year, the Republic of Korea achieved its seventh consecutive term as a Part III member in the ICAO Council. I believe it is a significant call from ICAO’s 193 member states for Korea to take on greater roles and responsibilities in the international aviation community. Once again, I extend my heartfelt thanks to all ICAO member states for their continuous interests in the training program for aviation professionals offered by Korea. Going forward, we will continue to assume our enhanced roles and responsibilities as ICAO Council member to uphold the spirit of Convention on International Civil Aviation, which pursues safe and orderly development of international civil aviation, as well as the spirit of ICAO's No Country Left Behind Initiatives. It is my strong hope to see more member states show interests and participation in training program provided by Korea in 2020 so that Korea, together with other member states, can grow into capable and responsible members who can contribute to the furtherance of international civil aviation. Thank you. Kim, Sang-Do Deputy minister for Civil Aviation Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport 5

The voices of Participants The voices of Participants 1 Please introduce yourself and indicate the course you participated in 2019 Korea FTP ? I am Cherry L. Apolinario, a Safety Officer from the Air Navigation Service of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines. I was fortunate to have chosen to participate in the 1st ICAO STP Aerodrome Inspection Course in July of 2019. 2 Please tell me which subjects in this course were useful for your work and why The module on Safety Management System (M9) in this course was particularly useful to me in my work. SMS principles, while familiar to me, were discussed by an SME from an organization with best industry practices. As such, it has provided me with fresh perspective which I was able to bring home to help improve our SMS implementation in the Air Navigation Service. The Mastery Test scenario on conducting an inspection was also very useful to me. It provided me with a starting point in implementing our own internal audit back home. On top of this, having open discussion with aviation professionals from all over the region made for a very interesting and enriching training experience. 3 Please tell me about your point of any improvements in this course. For me, the module would have benefitted from more time allotted to it. SMS implementation is a very broad topic and more time for question and answer would have been great. More test scenarios discussed and practiced on will provide more exposure to real world implementation of SMS which for most may only be discussed theoretically. 4 Please advise prospective participants who will be in 2020 about the 2019 course you attended If you should be selected to participate in the Aerodrome Inspection Course for 2020, my advice would be to come with an open mind and readiness to learn. Immerse yourself in the training, taking full advantage of the knowledge, skills and attitude only a world leader in aviation like the Republic of Korea and IAAA can offer. 26

My name is David Monari Mokoro a Senior Aeronautical Telecommunications officer from Kenya East Africa, and participated in ILS maintenance course . 2 Please tell me which subjects in this course were useful for your work and why. Doing ground checks using drones; this was useful because we could see how the signal changes at various points as the done flies. It was also useful because it saves a time compared to moving with portable ILS receiver 3 Please tell me about your point of any improvements in this course. Consider including video clips/graphics in the training material it makes learning more enjoyable and easy to grasp concepts. 4 Please advise prospective participants who will be in 2020 about the 2019 course you attended to prospective candidates: The instructors at KATC have the mastery of the ILS please ask as many questions as possible, write notes, interact with the Skymaru ILS system, above all learn from the Korean people how they have been able to turn round their Country. When you go round during weekends visit as many sites as possible. For me visiting Korea was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had I thank KATC for giving me the oppotunity. 27

This course was already good in its own way, but I would be better if they can improve some of the following points: It would be better if we have more time for training (increase number of training days) as it gives us more time to practice and understand each and every aspect of the subject Our accommodation is very comfortable, However it a bit far from downtown, bus, and train station. 4 Please advise prospective participants who will be in 2020 about the 2019 course you attended From the first day until the day I depart, IAAA has been providing me the best hospitality possible. Their staffs and management team are very friendly and helpful. Moreover, lecturers are very professional and approachable. Progress of the course has gone beyond my expectation. During training, I was not only able get crystal clear explanation, but also best practice exercise as well. Additionally, our class coordinator Ms. Jiyoon Park was very helpful and active.

The voices of managers The voices of managers 1 Please introduce yourself My name is Geesuk (Justin) Hong, in charge of international aviation training program held at the Korea Civil Aviation Trainng Center in cooperation with ICAO and aviation HRD-related works as well. 2 Please tell me about any impressed memoires while you managed the 2019 Korea FTP. As of 2020, it has been 8 years since I’ve worked as a training organizer and coordinator so that I was able to have tons of beautiful memories that I carved deep into my heart. If I have to picked out 1 thing in 2019, I’d say the time I met many friends who became one of delegation at the 40th ICAO triennial assembly. 3 Please tell me about any regrettable things while you managed the 2019 Korea FTP. I would like to mention one thing happened in 2017. One of selected applicants sent the medical report to us too late and flew to Korea instantly right before we informed of it. So I was so afraid that I couldn’t help but to let him go back to his country as soon as he arrived at the airport. I strongly encouraged my dear pre-participants to prepare for your related documents such as medical report, Visa-related ones and so on. 4 Would you like to recommend anything to prospective participants who will be in 2020 Korea FTP? Basically, I provide relevant documents files for participating in the course. But some of them need to submit extra documents to issue their visa. So, if you are planning to apply for one of our program in 2020, Please be aware of the needed documents and let us know those far enough in advance. 30

1 Please introduce yourself My name is Jiyoon Park, manager of global training team of Incheon Airport Aviation Academy (IAAA). I am in charge of facilitating KOREA Fellowship Training Program (FTP) in collaboration with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation (MOLIT). I am also planning and facilitating KOICA CIAT Training Program held at IAAA and developing ICAO TRAINAIR PLUS training packages as an ICAO Qualified Course Developer. 2 Please tell me about any impressed memoires while you managed the 2019 Korea FTP. The most memorable thing while facilitating 2019 KOREA FTP was to receive an e-mail from the trainee who participated in ICAO STP Airport PBB Operations Course from the Philippines. Through the training, IAAA pursues practical change and improvement to the recipient airport/country. In this regard, we prepare course based on our best practices, including a site-visit to the related airport site, and let trainees make action plans that can affect to their own airport in a better way. The content of the e-mail that I received from the trainee of the Philippines was about their airport’s plan to upgrade their PBB system and infrastructure based on the information shared from our course. He also asked me further questions regarding PBB system that I responded back to with answers from Subject-Matter-Expert of PBB in Incheon Airport. I felt that the training was valuable to the trainees by the fact that it contributed to the trainees and recipient country in a practical way. Hopefully, I expect to receive more e-mails from the trainees about what they have done and what they are planning to do after the course in 2020 as well. 31

The voices of managers 3 Please tell me about any regrettable things while you managed the 2019 Korea FTP. I would like to mention about participation confirmation. Last year, I received several e-mails just a few days before or a day before the starting day of the course that the designated participant could not attend the course. There were many applicants who wanted to participate in KOREA FTP Training program but missed the chance. Since this opportunity can be valuable to other people, please inform me of your course participation/cancellation no later than two weeks before the course starting date. 4 Would you like to recommend anything to prospective participants who will be in 2020 Korea FTP? The most important thing is to have ‘self-consciousness’ for the course participation. I would like to highlight that the KOREA FTP Training Program is not just visiting Korea and attending a course. It is a selective opportunity to get insights to improve one’s airport or aviation industry with shared knowledge, know-hows and best practices. Please find the optimal course to participate in by going through the course information, considering whether it matches with your training needs, and prepare your country report and action plan that is consistent with the course topic. Also, there are certain people missing an opportunity to participate in the course, due to 1) not checking announcements or 2) their giving incorrect personal information. As the result of the selection is posted on the KOREA FTP website (www.korea-ftp.org), I do hope that every applicant access to the website frequently. On top of that, contact information or e-mail address typed by applicants is sometimes incorrect and it takes a long time to reach the participant. Once I reached the participant, the remaining time for visa acquisition or passport issuance is limited, which makes the course participation difficult. Thus, I would like to emphasize checking the KOREA FTP website regularly and please final check one’s information once again before submitting the registration form. If you have not received any confirmation or guidance e-mail within 10 days after the announcement of selection, please do not hesitate to contact me at jiyoon_park@airport. kr. I do hope to meet all the selected participants for 2020 KOREA FTP in IAAA this year. 32
