VV CompSep

VV CompSep™ is a practical training program for Air Traffic Controllers and teaches the correct response to a Compromised Separation event, in which two aircraft under Surveillance Control have (or to be about to have) less than the required vertical or horizontal spacing. 

The VV CompSep™ course provides instruction on developing appropriate responses to CompSep events and with the use of the VV Simulator, much practice in applying these reponses.

Scenarios are presented as a series of conflicts without warning and providing the Controller with no opportunity for planning. Response must be immediate and accurate with the use of the correct phraseology. This scenario-based method provides an element of surprise, which is otherwise very hard to simulate. 

The VV CompSep™ course is ideal as refresher/recurrent training for licensed Air Traffic Controllers and for ATC trainees who will be working in a busy surveillance enviroment. 


Getting Started

This is a short course describing the process to set up your computer and speech recognition system in preparation for running Visual Vectoring Simulation online.

Tasks include:

  • How to download and install the VV Simulator;
  • Setting up the Speech Recognition function for online use;
  • Training the speech Recognition function for best outcomes.



HMI Primer

This is a draft course containing sample content for competency-based HMI skills training, including:

  • Correct CFL entry;
  • Readback monitoring;
  • Amending the FDR Graphic Route using different methods.
Subject to feedback, extra scenarios will be added for evaluation.

VV Stack

VV Stack™ is a Windows-based Air Traffic Control trainer that teaches intermediate skills in holding and gate sequencing in a surveillance-based Enroute/Area control environment. It is ideal for deployment at the commencement of a radar (or surveillance) ATC course, and will reduce training times and failure rates - and their associated costs. Skills taught include:

  • Arrivals control;
  • Management of holding patterns;
  • Management of an inbound sequence based on
    • Defined parameters such as gate times or trail distances;
    • The use of an Arrivals Management (AMAN) system.
The course consists of 2 hours of training content and 12 hours of simulation.

VV Enroute

VV Enroute™ is a Windows-based Air Traffic Control trainer that teaches basic skills in surveillance-based Enroute/Area control. The training program is structured in incremental learning steps that will enable students to lean to manage intense and challenging traffic scenarios in a realistic environment. It is ideal for deployment at the commencement of a radar (or surveillance) ATC course, and will reduce training times and failure rates - and their associated costs. Skills taught include:

  • Vectoring;
  • Conflict recognition and resolution;
  • Application of radar/surveillance separation;
  • Sequencing;
  • Interface usage;
  • Task management;
  • Prioritization;
  • Communications and phraseology;
  • Scanning.

VV Enroute™ provides many hours of challenging traffic scenarios on four platforms: Basic MAZE, Complex MAZE, GRID and DIAMOND. In the early scenarios the traffic complexity is selectable - aircraft may be added as the student becomes confident to handle them. Later scenarios present structured traffic flow which can be dynamically changed to add variety and to provide exposure to a wide range of configurations. A random traffic generator provides an immense variety of traffic flow for skills development.

The program includes a choice of regional airlines, to allow local preferences for aircraft callsigns to be selected in simulation. This enables familiarity with the telephony likely to be required for local traffic to be developed. Metric and imperial measures of distance, height and speed are available.

On all platforms traffic levels and complexity rise as progress is made through the simulator exercises. The portable and modular nature of the training package makes it suitable for delivery in a classroom or computer laboratory environment, or for learning in private.
