ATTower Remote Training and Self Learning
UFA has enhanced ATTower to support training on small form-factor devices such as Microsoft Windows Surface tablets, laptop computers, and other smart devices. User interfaces have been configured to run simulations on these devices that allow for self-training. Self-training is enabled through our command pad for entering commands or through our industry-leading ATVoice voice recognition and response feature.
To facilitate the management of training content, ATTower is now integrated with our ATCloud platform service that allows training scenarios to be downloaded to student devices.
The use cases include:
VRR
Airport / airspace familiarization
Basic (Clearance Delivery / Tower / Radar / PAR training)
Phraseology training
Non VRR
Airport / airspace familiarization
Basic training (Clearance Delivery / Tower / Radar training)
Simulation pilot training
These enhanced features for remote training and self-learning are available today on ATTower.
