New ATC training centre opens in Lebanon
A new air traffic control training facility has opened in Beirut, Lebanon, to help improve the supply of controllers in the region. Airways International, the commercial arm of New Zealand’s air navigation service provider, has installed a TotalControl LCD tower simulator and 2 radar/non-radar simulators at Beirut-Rafic Hariri International. The contract to build and install the simulator was between Airways International and ICAO on behalf of the DGCA Lebanon. The facility, to be used to train DGCA’s controllers and students using simulated scenarios that mimic the real world, is now fully commissioned after the completion of site acceptance testing last week. The need for ATCOs in the Middle East is urgent. Worldwide growth in air passenger traffic over the next 20 years is estimated at 3.5% annually. <br/>
