Adacel has been awarded a new FAA contract for Tower Simulation System Support and a technical refresh.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the FAA to close its academy for six months in 2020 and pause on-the-job training at facilities for almost two years.  The agency has now hired 1,500 air traffic controllers and met its 2023 goal.

This is the first use of a Simulated ATC Environment within a Multi-crew Pilot Licence training program. 

Adacel is partnering with CAE to create and deliver advanced ATC solutions to the Royal Australian Air Force.

Captain Michael Varney talks to Captain Jacques Drappier about why the aviation industry needs to implement SATCE across the board in pilot training. 

An industry group has published a white paper calling for the widespread implementation of Simulated ATC Environment in pilot training programs and flight simulators.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg argues that most delays travelers experience are not the cause of FAA air traffic controller short-staffing.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University students recently became among the first to test a new voice communication system for remotely piloted aircraft.
