The VV Simulator for VV Approach™

A practice tool...

The VV Simulator™ as it has been implemented as part of the VV Approach™ course, is a tool with which a student can practise techniques learned in the lessons. The simulator has been adapted specifically to test and reinforce concepts covered in the lessons, so that the student can practise vectoring techniques with a view to acquiring practical radar skills as a significant step towards a career in ATC.

...not a game

Most PC-based ATC Simulator programs are intended for entertainment purposes, and will emulate specific airspace (such as LA Approach). Such applications may be realistic, but they are not able to teach rigorous techniques in Air Traffic Control, because no form of methodology is supplied as to how ATC is actually done. The VV Approach™ Simulator has the capability of mimicking traffic scenarios from aerodromes, however this is not how it is applied in VV Approach™. Rather, the simulator is implemented as a practice tool in specific ATC techniques within the VV Approach™ methodology. The VV Approach™ simulator is much more than a game.

All the training in the VV Approach™ course is carried out on a single runway (27), but the simulator has the facility to select any direction, to allow the student to adapt techniques learned to the environment in which he/she will be required to operate. A lesson on the conversion from Runway 27 to any other is included in the VV Approach™ course.
