Frequently asked questions
The purpose with this page is not to indicate what are the most asked questions.
The purpose with this page is to provide information about professional simulations in an air traffic environment, not focused on flight simulators but focused on ATS:
Possibilities available.
Cost aspects.
Delivery times possible.
How to make it happen.
And so on.
A way to achieve this purpose (among others) is to format it as a FAQ.
On this page, "you" are a person looking for information about some aspect of air traffic simulations. You might represent an ANSP, a training institution, or anyone else with such interest. Notice that the benefits of such simulations can apply to (surprisingly) many areas.
"We" are Edda Systems, a Norwegian company specializing in simulations as described on this FAQ page, and other pages on this web site. Our mission is to help you to achieve your simulation goals.

No.
The eCoach ATC Simulator is a highly scalable solution for professional use. Training institutions like Gate Aviation Training use it for example to educate certified air traffic controllers for work at airports and area control centers.
As an example, see video under our Downloads/Videos menu.
This is described in detail under the category "Challenges". Overall:
The eCoach simulator has
- a model of the full airspace environment, including airports
- performance data on all relevant aircraft types
- models of airport vehicles and live objects like birds
- weather models of various kinds
- working positions to support the users, including out-of-tower view or Remote Tower setup
- software that combines the above with the laws of physics to produce a simulation environment that behaves similar to the real-life air traffic environment.
Every flight is simulated from starting gate to destination gate.
This simulation environment can be scaled from a laptop computer up to a full-scale simulator spanning multiple sites anywhere in the world.
Such an environment can be used to alleviate many aspects of air traffic management, including
- personnel training (the most common)
- safety analyses
- operational performance aspects under various conditions
- project communication and quality assurance
- etc.
