How Real It Gets: Maximizing Your Simulation Environment
As an air traffic controller in Atlanta, Derek speaks to pilots from around the world every day. Most of these communications are routine: “fly this heading, join the localizer, contact tower”. But what happens when things don’t go as planned? Real-world pilots spend hours in simulators training for eventualities. They practice making decisions, working with available resources, and interacting with air traffic control. And so can you!
