Best-in-class simulation-based training system for ground handling crews.
Our PushbackSim simulator is designed for a hands-on experience to ensure proper skill development and familiarity before you even step inside a real pushback tractor. We've seen that 75% of operators surveyed feel "safer" or "much safer" after simulation training. Training experts agree that training with simulation is four times faster and can reduce the learning curve by 40%. This quicker training process allows you to put more of your crew through pushback training or increase their practice time.
Driving Simulator Benefits
Ground support simulation training allows practice of critical decision-making skills and reinforces positive decision making, situation and spacial awareness in a realistic, risk-free environment.Practical Training
Enhances initial driver training, periodic training and driver assessments allowing you to conduct practical real world training, on different terrains and for different road and atmospheric conditions.
Reduce Crash Rates
Our customers have significantly reduced preventable incidents and the severity of the damage.
Optimize Training Time
Onboard and familiarize entry-level and experienced operators in a virtual classroom setting.
Reduces Equipment Costs
Minimize maintenance and damage to ground support equipment. Training on the simulator keeps your vehicles on the road and earning revenue.
Improve Ramp Agent Retention
Complete, consistent, objective feedback on performance gives drivers the skills and confidence to drive more safely and more efficiently.
Flexible Delivery Options
Include fixed site installation in a building or fully mobile training unit in a trailer or truck. Trailer options available to outfit in a mobile driver training unit complete with on-site classroom and instructors.
Simulator Features
- Replicates the complex task of pushing and towing aircraft; requires less equipment; and can reduce time to proficiency.
- New operators can gain the basic and advanced skills they’ll need to be safe, efficient and prepared on the job, while experienced operators can demonstrate and hone their abilities.
- Unlike conventional training, the simulator lets users repeat training scenarios as often as required without risking aircraft or equipment damage.
- Multiple pushback vehicles, aircraft and locations are available to train.
- Customized databases can replicate airport or gate layout allow; immediate assessment reports help an instructor spot bad habits; and drivers can communicate with instructors via headset.
Visual System
- High resolution visual display system with 4K-Ready LED LCD displays
- A sharp and visually accurate 180° field-of-view creates an immersive driving environment
