Adacel supports Airservices Australia in remote pseudo-pilot trial for air traffic control training

Adacel Technologies Limited (Adacel), a global leader in air traffic management (ATM) simulation technology, is proud to announce the successful implementation of a remote pseudo-pilot trial with Airservices Australia, enabling Air Traffic Control (ATC) training to be delivered across sites in Melbourne and Perth without the need to relocate staff.

As part of the Airservices Australia Tower Ab-Initio course, four students commenced training in May 2025 utilising the Adacel MaxSim™ Tower Simulator installed in Perth. Traditionally, pseudo-pilot staff, who provide critical simulation support during controller training, have been co-located with ab-initio trainees. However, Airservices Australia sought a solution to leverage its simulator facility in Perth while drawing on the expertise of its pseudo-pilot team in Melbourne.
