Dubbed the ATTAFS (Air Traffic, Tower, ATNAVICS & Fixed Base
PAR Simulator), the accreditation covers Adacel’s Tower, Radar and
ATNAVICS/FP-PAR simulation systems. This is a significant milestone
for Adacel and US Army Reserve ATC. The Adacel ATC simulators can
be used by all US Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard ATC
units to train both tactical and fixed base air traffic
controllers. With the accreditation, US Army Training Circular (TC)
3-04.81 (FM 3-04.303), ATC Facility Operations, Training,
Maintenance, and Standardization permits simulator time on the
Adacel systems to be credited for up to 50 percent of a
controller’s live operational training requirements. This will help
units to expedite and maintain controller unit qualification and
proficiency.
“Adacel is committed to providing the best simulators possible
for all of our clients’ needs worldwide,” said Fred Sheldon,
Adacel’s CEO North America. “We are particularly pleased to have
our ATC systems validated through the US Army’s rigorous
accreditation process.”
Adacel’s ATC simulators are used extensively throughout the
world for ATC training and for air traffic procedures testing and
validation. These systems can be operated using human pseudo pilots
or with Adacel’s embedded intelligent speech processing
applications that can eliminate the need for human role players.
Within the United States Adacel has deployed over 200 ATC
simulators with all branches of the US Department of Defense, the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and many educational
institutions supporting ATC training and recruitment through the
FAA’s Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI) program.
