While system modeling, visual presentation and flight model fidelity of training devices improves year over year, advances in interaction with ATC have lagged behind. First generation attempts at voice recognition only increased the industry’s reluctance to move away from having the “person in the back” handle the simulation of ATC and traffic. The industry standard is inconsistent and lacks any sense of tangible consequence for participating pilots – it’s an afterthought. Simulated ATC Environments (SATCE) stand to truly revolutionize the training landscape. With more than 12 years of continual operation, PilotEdge is the only COTS solution featuring human-in-the-loop real-time interactions. Words don’t do it justice – visit us at booth #111 to experience a simulated flight in a truly consequential virtual environment.
With over 2000 global clients and publicly-available 15 hours a day, 7 days a week, PilotEdge extends beyond basic ATC communication training to significantly boost situational awareness and manage real-world workload in both solo and multi-crew settings. Our platform’s high fidelity simulation of the National Airspace System, coupled with live, human-controlled interactions, positions it as an indispensable tool in modern aviation training. Beyond typical ab-initio or instrument training, PilotEdge suports Aviation English, human factors research, and next-gen avionics testing, thanks to customizable scenarios and real-time instructor-controller coordination. This dynamic ATC capability uniquely caters to diverse training needs, emphasizing our commitment to advancing aviation proficiency, and, more recently, entering the world of Air Traffic Controller training.
