ASTi will attend the European Airline Training Symposium (EATS) November 5–7, 2024 at the Estoril Congress Centre, Cascais, Portugal. ASTi experts attending the conference will be Neil Waterman, Commercial Aviation Director and Gary Pallett, Industry Consultant and former Royal Air Force navigator. Both will be ready to discuss and demonstrate the latest in simulated air traffic control environment (SATCE) technology: ASTi's Simulated Environment for Realistic ATC (SERA).
Mr. Waterman will deliver a presentation titled, "Regulation: Roadblock or Backstop? A Tale of Innovation, Frustration and Better-Together with the FAA — Has SATCE Come of Age?" during the "Approved Training Organisation (ATO) Conference" session at 4:30 p.m. on the 7th.
This presentation prompts industry to examine where new technologies like SATCE fit in flight training from regulatory and practical viewpoints. As runway incursions are happening with alarming frequency these days, it's important to examine how the industry can shift training priorities to address the reality of these training failures. Which obstacles are keeping training programs from adopting SATCE? Are these decisions being made because of regulations that already—or do not yet—exist? And are these decisions in the best interest of commercial pilot training?
ASTi will also host a portable SERA demonstration featuring an Airbus A320 desktop flight simulator. The demo's multiple, real-time training scenarios will allow interested viewers to experience a full ATC radio comms and traffic environment geared specifically for commercial and military pilot training.
If you plan to attend this conference, we welcome the opportunity to discuss how SERA can power up your flight training. Send an email to neil.waterman@asti-usa.com or gary.pallett@asti-usa.com to arrange a meeting. If you are unable to attend, contact us at sales@asti-usa.com to learn more.
