The MCS is a sophisticated pilot position developed for the EEC. It is composed of:
- A realistic aircraft model covering the aspects of navigation, performance and fuel consumption; and
- A "semi-realistic" pilot-machine interface (cockpit), allowing experienced (professional) pilots to participate realistically in a simulated ATC scenario, or, to form an opinion on new airborne equipment.
|
|
|
The MCS is used to satisfy 3 distinct needs:
- The participation of "high fidelity, simulated" aircraft in real-time air traffic simulations:
a/ the effects of real-life pilot inputs and reactions can be included in the experiment; or
b/ the pilots may form an opinion on aspects of the simulation via first-hand experience;
- A test platform to investigate new ATC concepts such as trajectory negotiation via air-ground datalink and free flight concept; and
- A test platform to investigate new airborne philosophies and equipment such as ASAS or airborne HMI.

|
Currently, the EEC possesses 2 full cockpit simulators (also referred to as 3D-version), and a number of licenses for a simplified version, running on standard PC equipment (also referred to as 2D-version).

|
Real-time simulations and experiments.
|
|
|
Provision of a realistic aircraft model and cockpit configuration in order to enable simulation and experimentation projects to include the airborne aspects into their experiments.
|
|
|
The MCS is based on an industrial training simulator delivered by FAROS.
The software architecture of this product allows us to extend this simulator with our own features like ASAS, Navigation Display , TCAS.
|
|
|
The MCS will be used in a number of experiments/simulations.
- MFF - RTS3;
- AVT;
- EVP ASAS/Approach;
- COSPACE ASAS/AMAN;
- EVP ASAS/Datalink;
- COSPACE ASAS/Datalink; and
- DOVE3.
