Advanced Vectoring
Read full descriptionHide full description
Advanced Vectoring caters to the next generation of air traffic controllers who are comfortable and adept at using and learning on, mobile devices. Like all our aviation-focused games powered on our StrataGem platform, it allows air traffic control students to leverage mobile apps and gaming while waiting-sometimes weeks or months - to get into high-fidelity simulators during the advanced phases of their training. The game is easily implemented on individual training devices, such as iPads, can be played anytime/anywhere, and expedites the early teaching of a critical skill that must be mastered by all radar controllers. It gives air traffic controllers a strong foundation to ensure future success and has a high level of engagement that requires student focus and attention to succeed.
