Proficiency Training Systems for Airway Facilities Technicians

چکیده
Airway Facilities maintenance technicians are being challenged to maintain proficiency on old equipment while learning new equipment. The new equipment is both more complex and more reliable. Greater reliability leads to infrequent opportunities to troubleshoot. Infrequent practice means degradation of the knowledge needed to troubleshoot complex equipment. An intelligent simulator can help technicians to maintain proficiency by providing practice with the help of an expert advisor. This paper describes a "proof-of-concept" prototype advanced technology system for proficiency training of Air Traffic Control Beacon Interrogator (ATCBI-4) troubleshooting.
