Advanced Simulation Technology Inc. (ASTi) is helping lead the ARINC Industry Activities Simulated Air Traffic Control Environment (SATCE) Working Group in an 18-month effort to review and refresh its recommendations for the use of simulated ATC in flight training devices. The updated ARINC Specification 439, "Guidance for Simulated Air Traffic Control Environments in Flight Simulation Training Devices," will serve as the industry’s primary resource for adopting and implementing SATCE and will help guide regulators, including the FAA and ICAO, in developing flight simulator qualification standards.
Ted Chapman from FlightSafety International, Inc. and Dr. Jeremy Goodman, MRAeS, are co-chairing the Working Group. ASTi’s team of engineers, including Dr. Goodman, is providing technical expertise in the practical application of SATCE for flight training programs as part of this initiative.
"We're now at the point of widespread SATCE adoption at scale in commercial pilot training," said Dr. Goodman. "The more I discover from early adopters and researchers, including the FAA, the more I'm convinced that SATCE will reshape most professional pilot training programs around the world."
ASTi has participated in the Working Group since its inception in 2011. The group unites airlines, training organizations, regulators, industry and academic organizations, device manufacturers, system suppliers, and SATCE vendors to develop practices and guidance for the flight training community.
