Our ATC simulator system is a scalable solution that addresses all ATC training requirements. The modular nature of our system allows Radar, Radar and 2D Tower and Radar and 3D Tower training to be conducted with a single common system.
Tower Simulator
Our Tower simulation systems are suitable for all tower training. In addition we have two áreas of surveillance display for the training.
2D SOLUTION
Provides a plan view of the airfield and the associated hold points, stop bars and stands. It accurately maps the ground movements of aircraft and vehicles along the taxiways, aprons and runways. An underlying ATC model ensures realistic performance within the ground area. This includes rates of acceleration/deceleration, braking performance, engine start-up times, and correct take off interval based on wake vortex ratings. The 2D display is not simply a ground radar view of the airfield; it also displays airborne traffic flying the circuits configured for the airfield so that the ground controller has visibility of operations immediately above and in close proximity to the airfield. A touch screen lighting panel is used to control all lights on the airfield other than those on aircraft/vehicles and the apron floodlights.
3D SOLUTION
Provides a view from the tower out over the airfield. In its simplest form the display could be a single high definition flat screen display, and in its most complex form provides a 360° uninterrupted view from the tower using front or rear projection onto a polycarbonate screen. A multitude of solutions somewhere between the simplest and most complex offerings are available. This allows TELNORM to supply the 3D solution that is precisely tailored to the customer’s requirement.

Key Features:
Below is a selection of features included. We are constantly updating our product features and currently have well over 100. If there is something you are looking for but do not see it here please contact us to discuss your requirements further.
- High number of animated aircraft and vehicle models
- Realistic airfield 3D scenes and aircraft behaviour
- Day-night, dawn-dusk, visibility, and weather effects including fog, snow, rain, hail, lightning and sandstorms
- Customised displays for ground movement, audio communications and dynamic weather and information pages
- 3D visuals support multiple tower viewpoints, picture-in-picture (binoculars) aircraft tracking and free navigation options
- Customised displays for lighting control including runway and taxiway lights, stopbars and traffic lights
- 2D visuals support a close up airfield view and a general area view
