Controller trainingpositions are fully customised andequipped with relevant ATC tools suchas electronic flight progress strips,aeronautical information displays (eg.meteorological data, NOTAMS, NAVAIDand equipment status), radar displaysand flight progress boards.An integrated communicationsnetwork provides associated radiofrequencies, intercom and telephonesfor simulation of ATC communications.Another significant feature is thesimulation of the full suite of aircraftemergencies to enable trainees todevelop critical skills in handlingabnormal situations. The simulatorsare also capable of recordingaudio and video data that can besynchronised and played back for debriefingpurposes. An added featureis voice synthesis and recognitionwhich can be customised for specifictraining scenarios. This feature helpsto reduce training overhead costs.24 ELECTRONICS REVIEW
