Abstract

The Canadian Government, through its Department of Transport (Transport Canada) Air Traffic Services organization is responsible for a variety of ATC programs of which the Simulation and Evaluation program is fast attaining its potential as an experimental tool. Simulation and Evaluation has been a way of life in aviation for many many years; in ATC however, it is perhaps only in the last ten years that computer-aided simulators have become an essential part of the service. Since commissioning the Canadian ATC Simulation and Evaluation System in 1976, not only has it been effective and reliable in providing objective experimental results, it has also provided economic benefits to our operations. As a training aid it is yet to attain its full worth. Being the newest of ATC Simulation Systems, the Canadian system incorporates several computers, an integrated communications control capability, an elaborate software package, modern digital radar displays and data link features.
