Micro Nav Ltd - Pilot Training: Simulated Air Traffic Control Environment for Flight Simulation Training Devices

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

What is the Need?The lack of realistic simulated other aircraft and Air Traffic Control (ATC) communicationsin flight simulators has been called ‘the missing link’ in pilot training. As a result, the mostadvanced training devices simulating today’s most sophisticated aircraft still lack fundamentalrealism in environment and communications.This project will develop a fundamentally new major sub-system within flight simulationtraining devices (FSTDs), helping to keep the UK at the forefront of simulator technicaldevelopment and more widely, the flight training market.Leap in Flight Simulator PerformanceThis technology will create a step-change in flight simulator fidelity and application,providing pilots, at all levels of training, with a more realistic busy airspace environmentoutside the cockpit and more representative pilot communication workloads.Regulatory BackingThis system will meet guidance first introduced by the International Civil AviationOrganisation (ICAO), and over time will become a regulatory requirement in flight simulationtraining devices, thus generating industry-wide global commercial demand. An enhancedATC environment is already mandated by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) forflight simulators used for the Multi-Crew Pilot Licence.Enhancing Worldwide Aviation SafetyHuman factors, and in particular, communications are recognized areas having contributed tomany aircraft incidents and accidents. This project will further enhance both civil and militarypilot training delivering enhanced aviation safety worldwide.Micro Nav Ltd.Micro Nav Ltd., based in Bournemouth UK, is a highly specialized developer and supplier ofSimulated Air Traffic Control (ATC) Systems. The company is the proud recipient of theQueen’s Award for Enterprise (2010) for its performance in international trade and has beenranked in the Sunday Times HSBC Tech Track 100 (2010) and International Track (2011)league tables.
