Italy's ATC to Get New Adacel Tower Simulators

Italy's air traffic authority, ENAV (Ente Nazionale de Assistenza AI Volo), has contracted with Adacel for two new air traffic control tower simulators to be installed at ENAV's aviation training college in Rome.

ENAV sees Adacel’s new 270 degree MaxSim 3-D tower simulators with a 270 degree field of view and integrated voice recognition automation capability, as a way to significantly augment its controller training, and will supplement the four existing Adacel tower simulators already in use.

According to Adacel, MaxSim provides speaker independent voice recognition, high fidelity visuals, comprehensive weather effects and environmental sound effects designed to enhance ATC training and research.  12-04-2004.
