The L-3 PushbackSim Training Simulator replicates the complex task of pushing and towing aircraft; requires less equipment; and can reduce time to proficiency. New operators can gain the basic and advanced skills they’ll need to be safe, efficient and prepared on the job, while experienced operators can demonstrate and hone their abilities. Unlike conventional training, the simulator lets users repeat training scenarios as often as required without risking aircraft or equipment damage. Multiple pushback vehicles, aircraft and locations are available to train. Customized databases can replicate airport or gate layout allow; immediate diagnostic printouts help trainers spot bad habits; and drivers can communicate with instructors via headset.
