A recording of the webinar has been made available on ICAO TV and can be re-watched on demand.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
During this webinar we would like to discuss, as a community, the evolving technology needs in the air traffic control space: from the "class room" where students learn the science of air traffic control through simulation to the control tower where air traffic controllers have the daunting task to efficiently and safely manage the air traffic, 24/7. We will talk about the state of air traffic control simulation and training technology as well as the trends we are seeing in the industry. Plus, we will explore the ever-evolving requirements in air traffic management. We look forward to a robust exchange of ideas.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
Air Navigation, ATM, ATC & ATM/ATC training.
