With the conclusion of the testing and validation stage, the development of the Base Version of the VV Approach™ course has been completed. This course is a comprehensive tool for instruction in terminal area sequencing. VV Approach™ is now available to ATC Colleges and Training Organisations for licencing. Several such organisations are currently testing and evaluating the product.

Visual Vectoring™ has entered a partnership with Airways New Zealand to market the VV Approach™ course as part of their comprehensive suite of ATC training solutions.

VV Approach™ is available from Airways International as part of the Total Approach™ package. This is a complete solution to the provision of Terminal Area radar training, including both theoretical and practical skills, and will enable Air Navigation Services providers to fast-track their approach radar training.

Contact Airways International for more information.

The Visual Vectoring™ development team has commenced the design of the VV Centre™ course, which is an Enroute (Area) version of the VV Approach™ course. VV Centre™ provides instruction in enroute (arrivals) sequencing of jet and turboprop aircraft, as well as separation of climbing, descending and crossing aircraft.

The VV Simulator™ has been equipped with an automated Traffic Management System to emulate flow instruction and make the sequencing process more realistic.

This will enable the acquisition of skills in enroute sequencing though the use of vectoring, holding and speed control.
