Airways International has installed a TotalControl tower simulator for Croatia Control, which the ANSP will use for air traffic control training at its headquarters.
The 270-degree, 17-screen simulator is now ready for use by Croatian air traffic controllers during training exercises after completion of acceptance testing at the site.
Croatia Control, partnered with ATC-simulator supplier Airways International Ltd (AIL) in 2023 to supply and install a TotalControl simulation solution. The supplied solution features TotalControl’s leading-edge TrueView graphics technology which provides an unparalleled life-like tower experience.
The tower simulator installed at the ANSP’s headquarters in Velika Gorica, Croatia includes two controller positions, two simulator pilot positions, an instructor position and data preparation/testing positions. As part of the solution, 10 custom aerodromes have been developed simulating Croatian airports where air traffic controllers operate.
Sharon Cooke, CEO of Airways International said, “We congratulate Croatia Control on achieving the milestone of commissioning our TotalControl simulation solution for their air traffic controllers, and we’re proud to be enhancing their ATC training capabilities through provision of an immersive simulated learning environment.”
AIL hosted a group from Croatia Control at its Christchurch, New Zealand facilities in February 2024 for factory acceptance testing of the TotalControl simulator, and TotalControl simulation experts from AIL recently traveled to Croatia for site acceptance testing.
Airways’ TotalControl is a realistic and flexible simulation platform, with real-world tower graphics that take advantage of terrain mapping data, photo-realistic 3D rendered models and TotalControl’s TrueView technology. TotalControl simulators vary in size and complexity, from desktop mobile simulators to free-standing 360-degree tower simulators with very large screens.
There are more than 70 TotalControl simulators in use across the world – simulators have also recently been installed in Asia and Europe.
