Frequently Asked Questions
What are the GCAA ATC knowledge-test question count, duration, and pass mark?
The reviewed GCAA Part 2 directive identifies required knowledge and skill areas but does not publish one fixed question count, duration, subject weighting, or pass mark for every ATC licence or rating test. Confirm current testing instructions with GCAA Personnel Licensing.
What training and experience are required for a Ghana ATC licence?
Part 2 requires an approved training course and supervised practical control experience, followed by the knowledge, skill, language, medical, and rating requirements applicable to the licence sought. Applicants should confirm the approved course and experience-record requirements with GCAA Personnel Licensing and their service provider.
What medical certificate is required for the GCAA ATC Licence?
According to GCAA Part 2 and ICAO Annex 1 standards, all active air traffic controllers must hold a valid Class 3 Medical Assessment, which must be renewed every 24 months for controllers under the age of 40, and every 12 months for controllers aged 40 and above.
What specific regional topics are covered in the GCAA ATC exam?
The official knowledge areas include Air Law, ATC Equipment, General Knowledge, Human Performance and Limitations, Meteorology, Navigation, and Operational Procedures, plus subjects specific to the rating sought. Local preparation should apply these to GCAA directives and Accra FIR operations rather than assume a published percentage split.
