Abstract [English]

This paper presents an analysis of the significance of Air Traffic Control (ATC) simulators in training, and focuses on the development of low cost, high awareness ATC simulator on a 3D virtual environment, using Free and Open Source Aircraft simulator named Flightgear. Here it has proposed a scenario based ATC officer control method covering the all three phases; tower control, approach and enroute control.
