Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Control Operations

The Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Control Operations (CFSACO) is located at Cornwall, Ontario, and is responsible for military aerospace control training. A range of basic and specialty courses and conversion training are offered to students who are trained to become either Air Traffic Controllers/Operators who ensure safe and effective aircraft control operations at Wings or deployed locations, or Air Battle Managers who manage a multitude of air assets while conducting offensive or defensive air operations in both deployed and exercise environments.

Using a variety of simulators and new instructional techniques like self-paced training, learning facilitators and coaching, students study airborne weapons systems, ground control systems and radar, meteorology, radio telephony and procedures, air regulations and navigation orders, and command and control of military aircraft.

Successful graduates of CFSACO, once certified at their respective units, will be ready to start their first assignment as Aerospace Controllers/Operators, controlling live aircraft— including many exchange opportunities with NATO allies as well as positions at most Air Force wings across Canada.
