By providing a structured description of the hands-on activities that the Member States and Frontex need to undertake for the effective deployment of surveillance aircraft, these guidelines provide comprehensive information on the administrative and logistic processes that such deployment entails to all parties involved. Additionally, National Frontex Points of Contact (NFPOCs) and other competent national authorities may use these guidelines as a training tool as they include basic reference material for organising deployment. Hence, this publication also contributes to strengthening the interoperability and preparedness of the competent national authorities that provide or receive aerial support.

This Frontex Air-Crew Training Manual is the first step towards a unified European air operation system for border guards and police forces. A high level of flight safety through common training standards, the sharing of best practices, and harmonised procedures is the way forward to ensure successful future Joint Operations (JOs) in European border security. The main objective of this training manual is to set common training standards for both national and Frontex training.

This Manual sets common standards within Frontex Air-Crew Training for JOs for the following:

- meteorological flight minima

- proposals for the minimum flight crew

- description of training needs for air-crew members’ standardisation

- description of common training courses.

This document intends to provide Member States with a tentative framework for building a targeting capability, by providing guidelines about the different processes to be set up, areas of interest to be taken into account as regards the organisation, management and coordination of the capability, and its cooperation with external partners.

The objective of this course is to provide an overview of the wide variety of systems and tools used in a Fisheries
Monitoring Centre (FMC) and to demonstrate how they are used to gather and manage operational data,
information and possibly intelligence. The course shows how this in turn is used to direct the control and
enforcement assets in the most efficient and effective manner.

The scope of this document is to describe minimum technical requirements and standards for REM systems, which
could be used as a tool to monitor and document compliance with the CFP landing obligation in EU fisheries. It is
meant as a guidance document for MS authorities to be used for the potential implementation of REM on their
vessels with the purpose of monitoring and control of the landing obligation and related provisions. The document
also seeks to highlight particular issues that require attention when implementing and using a REM system.
