Pushback simulator
Comprehensive tools for training ground handling staff in apron operations and aircraft pushback with a pushback tug.
The vehicle is modeled after the Goldhofer Bison D1000
functionalities:
Exercise on selecting a towbar
Ten towbar models in various configurations for exercises, including towbars for Airbus A321 NEO and Boeing 737-800.
Daily maintenance of the towbar
Learning the procedure for checking the functionality and technical condition of the towbar before use.
Connecting the towbar to the aircraft
The available aircraft and corresponding towbars are the Airbus A321 NEO and Boeing 737-800.
Daily maintenance of the pushback vehicle
Learning the procedure for checking the functionality and technical condition of the vehicle before use.
Learning to drive a tug on a simulator
Starting the vehicle | Driving with automatic and manual transmissions | Driving in different steering modes – single-axle steering, dual-axle steering, crab mode | Driving with the cabin raised or lowered.
Pushback of the aircraft
Learning the entire pushback procedure with a tug and coordination with the dispatcher on the apron. Training in pushback under various weather conditions: day/night, fog, wet or icy surfaces, poor visibility, etc. Emergency situations: such as a pin breakage, head breakage, wheel slip, and a blocked path due to another vehicle.
"Perun" VR simulator
Instructor’s position
The instructor’s station is an integral part of the simulator, allowing for monitoring the training from the perspective of the trainee or a drone camera. It enables the instructor to set and track exercise progress, adjust weather conditions, and create emergency situations
Student management, results analysis
The Perun simulator is equipped with a student and instructor management system. Instructors can evaluate and comment on trainee exercises, but the system also automatically assesses exercises, generates reports, and records video footage of the training sessions.
scene editor
The scene editor provides greater flexibility than pre-prepared exercises in the simulation. This extension of the simulator allows instructors to create custom scenarios using a variety of elements, loads, vehicles, and characters. It enables the development of tailored exercises and training programs.
„multiplayer” module
This module enables simultaneous training on multiple machines within the same environment. Operators can perform procedures that require collaboration, such as two cranes synchronously lifting a single load. This extension allows operators to virtually practice complex tasks that necessitate teamwork.
Recommended simulation platforms
Simulation in VR technology
Full immersion in virtual reality (VR) for realistic training.
A platform integrated with a VR application
Two or three degrees of freedom, allowing every movement of the machine in the VR application to be mirrored on the platform, enabling the trainee to feel the machine's movements.
full immersion
A sense of depth provided by VR goggles, actuators, and highly realistic graphics.
Versatility
One platform for various machines, with the ability to easily reconfigure for different machines.
mobility
A lightweight, easily transportable platform on wheels that allows for quick and convenient setup and teardown.
Interchangeable panels with control levers
Component swapping without tools during operation (Hot Swap), allowing for quick adaptation to any machine through interchangeable parts. The platform is equipped with original components from real machines.
Case study
why it's worth it?
increasing safety
The simulator allows for training in a safe, controlled environment, eliminating the risks associated with real airport operations.
realistic experience
With advanced 3D modeling and sound design, the training is highly realistic, which enhances participant engagement and learning effectiveness.
training flexibility
The simulator offers the ability to train under various weather conditions and on different aircraft models, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the training.
Monitoring and analyzing progress
The software for generating reports and maintaining a student database enables precise tracking of progress and results, allowing for effective training management and optimization of educational programs.
Reducing the cost of errors
Through simulations of various emergency situations, trainees learn to handle problems without incurring costly errors in real-world operations.
Improving operator skills
Regular training in virtual reality helps refine skills and techniques for operating vehicles, thereby increasing operational efficiency.
savings
Investing in a simulator eliminates the need to rent real vehicles for training, significantly reducing costs related to equipment maintenance and operation. It also allows for more frequent and flexible training sessions.
