VV Enroute⢠is a Windows-based Air Traffic Control trainer that teaches
basic skills in surveillance-based Enroute/Area control. The training program
is structured in incremental learning steps that will enable students to lean
to manage intense and challenging traffic scenarios in a realistic environment.
It is ideal for deployment at the commencement of a radar (or surveillance) ATC
course, and will reduce training times and failure rates - and their associated
costs. Skills taught include:
- Vectoring;
- Conflict
recognition and resolution;
- Application
of radar/surveillance separation;
- Sequencing;
- Interface
usage;
- Task
management;
- Prioritization;
- Communications
and phraseology;
- Scanning.
VV Enroute⢠provides many hours of challenging traffic
scenarios on four platforms: Basic MAZE, Complex MAZE, GRID and DIAMOND. In the
early scenarios the traffic complexity is selectable - aircraft may be added as
the student becomes confident to handle them. Later scenarios present
structured traffic flow which can be dynamically changed to add variety and to
provide exposure to a wide range of configurations. A random traffic generator
provides an immense variety of traffic flow for skills development.
The program includes a choice of regional airlines, to allow local preferences
for aircraft callsigns to be selected in simulation. This enables familiarity
with the telephony likely to be required for local traffic to be developed.
Metric and imperial measures of distance, height and speed are available.
On all platforms traffic
levels and complexity rise as progress is made through the simulator exercises.
The portable and modular nature of the training package makes it suitable for
delivery in a classroom or computer laboratory environment, or for learning in
private.
