Pre-docking checks
Clearance around the aircraft and console checks.
Terminal operations
Passenger boarding bridge docking practice.
Docking, retraction and checks for jetway operators, without an aircraft at the gate.
Overview
Passenger boarding bridge training
A bridge strike on a door or fuselage grounds the aircraft and starts an investigation. New bridge operators rarely get enough supervised dockings before they work alone, because every one needs an aircraft at the gate. AVOPSIM models the bridge, its console and your aircraft types so operators can dock, retract and repeat without a turnaround in progress. The bridge model, console layout and aircraft types are configured to your gates.
Use cases
What trainees practice.
Each item is a mission type your instructors can assign, repeat and score. All of them run on your own airfield.
Cab approach
Initial positioning and approach path to the door.
Height, extension, slew
Console control as on the real bridge.
Final alignment
Stop position and door alignment.
Canopy deployment
Against the aircraft type and door.
Retraction and parking
Post-operation checks.
Aircraft variants
Door heights and positions by type.
Weather and night
Rain, wind and darkness at the gate.
How a mission runs
How a mission runs.
- 01The instructor selects the gate, the aircraft type and door, and the conditions: day, night, rain or wind.
- 02The operator works from a modeled bridge console on a desk station, driving station or a console mock-up in a full cab.
- 03Cab position, height, extension and slew are controlled as on the real bridge, with the aircraft door as the target.
- 04The mission flags contact, misalignment, missed checks and excessive approach speed, and records the result.
