ATCSim
The ATCSim is designed for basic and advanced training of air traffic controllers in any airspace. In addition to training tasks, the simulator can be used for testing of new procedures, new functionality or modified parameter sets, before they are implemented in an operational environment.

Additional Product Information
The simulator system comprises two main components :
* Simulator segment
* Operational segment
The simulator segment is the component which drives the simulation process by generating input traffic for the operational segment - its primary functions are as follows :
* Overall control of the running of the simulation processing
for an exercise - i.e. processing of the exercise related
ExePlan to create the appropriate environment for the running
of the exercise.
* Generation of Flightplan data which is fed to the operational
segment - this is based on the SimPlans included in the
exercise.
* Generation of Track data which is fed to the operational
segment - this is based on both the SimPlans included in the
exercise, which determine intended flight routes, and pilot
inputs made during the course of exercise execution.
The operational segment is, in effect, an exact copy of the operational system, which is fed with generated flightplan and track input, based on ExePlan definitions, rather than live data.
From a functional point of view, the simulator comprises two main functions: Data preparation and Exercise execution.
Data preparation includes:
- Definition of training airspaces
- Simulated flight plan preparation
- Exercise plan preparation
The scenarios that make up a training environment are specified as ExePlans. An exercise is executed in a defined airspace with simulation of realistic air traffic. The properties of the airspace are parameter-defined. Flights are specified as SimPlans, FPL-resembling items stored in a library. They are incorporated in ExePlans to create desired training situations. SimPlans and ExePlans are managed by an Exercise Preparator having the appropriate functionality available.
Exercise execution is controlled by a Training Supervisor. Traffic is generated from the included SimPlans. Flights can fly automatically according to the SimPlans or be manually navigated. Pilots perform such navigation by means of a comprehensive set of navigation commands. Aircraft behaviour is realistically simulated for all phases of the flight applying parameters describing aircraft performance, AIP procedures, radar environment and a wind model.
Trainees work with identical tools and functions as in the SiATM System. They communicate with pilots and other controllers by means of a voice communication system. During the exercise, statistics are collected. Playback functions allow analysis of training situations.
