The TRACON Lab is a realistic simulation of the airspace around Academy Airport utilized at the FAA Air Traffic Training Academy.
The lab integrates ATC interactions in all domains and includes the capability to simulate air traffic, radar and non-radar controlling actions, pseudo pilot control of aircraft and adjacent sectors and interphone communications. The TRACON Lab utilizes the FAA’s NEXTGEN Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System.
Equipment
- Eight terminal radar controller positions
- Eight pseudo pilot positions
- Supervisor position
Research Capacity:
Research on stress levels, workload and other human factors issues can be completed using this resource. Prior work has supported the FAA NextGen project.
