Geneva, 14 November 2012. Skyguide has a high level of demand for air traffic
controllers to staff its control towers. The new tower simulator which was
formally opened yesterday in Dübendorf will guarantee the Swiss air navigation
service provider's training capacity for years to come and enable it to offer
training facilities to external customers, giving it a stronger position on
the European training market.
Panoramic view with front projection
In order to meet the highest training standards, the new 3D tower simulator
provides a 360-degree panoramic view. The skyguide training center in
Dübendorf now has three state-of-the-art tower simulators which offer a
realistic representation of the view from the towers of a number of different
airports. The newly opened "TOSIM green" simulator has 17 central HD
projectors which provide better image quality than conventional systems with
back projection.
Modern air navigation systems
The new simulator is also equipped with the latest air navigation systems,
including integrated communication and flight plan information functions,
which will be used to train the air traffic controllers who will be working in
paperless workplaces.
Better quality training
As a result of the new simulator's more efficient air conditioning system and
higher image contrast, trainees can spend longer inside it, because they
become tired less quickly. The TOSIM green has enough space to accommodate
three trainees and the necessary instructors.
Skyguide now has a tower simulator which meets the needs of a professional,
forward-looking and, at the same time, cost-effective training programme.
