AVOPSIM is a cost-effective simulator for ground personnel training in airside vehicle operations. It runs on a modified version of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 as the simulation engine, so the budget goes into reproducing your airfield, your vehicles and your procedures accurately, not into building and maintaining a simulation engine.
Airside driver training normally means an instructor, a vehicle out of service and a live apron. AVOPSIM moves the learning, the mistakes and the repetition into a classroom.
Trainees learn the layout, signage, hold points and hotspots of their own airfield before the practical exam. Fewer re-tests, less instructor time.
Route familiarization and procedure practice happen at a training station, not in an operational vehicle on an active apron burning fuel.
Runway incursions, missed hold points and incorrect phraseology are made in the simulator, logged, and debriefed.
One instructor monitors several stations from the Examiner Console. Missions pass or fail automatically against the constraints you configure.
Using Microsoft Flight Simulator as the engine keeps development and maintenance cost low. With AVOP licenses at USD 600 to 900 per person, a cohort of 40 trainees recovers the investment quickly.
A new taxiway, a relocated stand or a construction closure is added to the digital twin so drivers learn the new routing before it goes live.
AVOPSIM is modular. Start with airside driver training and add specialist programs as your fleet and your requirements grow. Every program runs on the same digital twin and the same stations.
Pre-certification and recurrent training for anyone who drives airside.
Response driving and vehicle positioning for aircraft rescue and firefighting crews.
Equipment operation in the constrained space around a parked aircraft.
Docking practice for bridge operators without an aircraft at the gate.
Runway and apron clearing that is hard to practice until the season has already started.
Deicing and anti-icing vehicle operation at the stand and on the deicing pad.
Radio phraseology practice with a virtual ground controller, using speech recognition.
Any airside task that involves a vehicle and a procedure can become a scored mission on your digital twin.
