Orlando, Florida – January, 9, 2017 – JBT and KBY Software installed Tempest deicer simulators at Denver International Airport (DEN) and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) during the fourth quarter of 2016.
These simulators provide effective training in the operation of the Tempest Standard and XR Boom models with or without the AirFirst system. The simulators feature 4K visuals, game engine graphics and actual Tempest joysticks to replicate the look and feel of operating the Tempest deicer standard or one-man drive configuration. The simulators are available in two configurations; basic and advanced. The configurations differ in features and fidelity in order to support varying training needs and budgets. Options include immersive head tracking visuals, aircraft types, networked configurations, and custom deicing environments.
”KBY adapted key features that make the Tempest deicer a best seller around the world. This simulator allows our customers to optimize operations and capture the benefits that lead to the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) in the business," reports Ed Sachs, JBT Tempest product manager.
“We are excited to work with JBT to get the Tempest deicer simulators into the hands of deicer trainers and operators. Our goal is to support customer Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) so that simulator training is directly transferable to the operational environment,” said Brian Yeoman, CEO/GM, KBY Software.
