Instrument Flight Procedure Design is a complex field of activity. Air traffic volume grows worldwide, terminal airspaces are more and more congested, navigation technology evolves and environmental issues are certainly not decreasing. More and more the procedure design expert has to address many issues and good and continuous training become one of the key elements in creating safe and efficient instrument flight procedures.

Apart from budget problems, one of the major problems in todays Air Traffic Management industry is time. Time away from the office is for most procedure specialists a big problem because they are facing heavy workloads.

For the contemporary procedure designer it is vital not only to know the design guidance material such as PANS-OPS and TERPS, but more and more also other related topics such as geodetics and mapping, FMS database coding, aircraft performance, JAR-OPS and noise modelling.
Because time is such an important factor, we created a series of short modular courses to limit your valuable time out of the office.

Beat Zimmermann founded the Institute with the vision to provide top class training services to the procedure design and ATM community. The institute operates as a network and co-operates with other education bodies (Universities, ATS Schools) whenever suitable.

Beat Zimmermann sincerely believes in training as an overall experience. In other words, a great location, good facilities and a certain amount of comfort is a basic need for a training course. As a matter of fact, the learning experience is greatly enhanced when there is access to good recreation and relaxation facilities and last but not least good food.

Training courses (not normally the PANS-OPS basic courses) can also be arranged to be held on site. If you have the appropriate infrastructure, ANI will be happy to arrange the course on your premises. Should you wish to hold a training course near you but you don't have the required infrastructure, we can also arrange a course at a remote location, such as a University near you. Please contact Beat Zimmermann for more information.
