DOCUMENTATIONAirside Driver Training
Airside driver training on your own airfield. AVOP pre-certification and recurrent training for everyone who drives airside, on a 1:1 digital version of your airport.
Program overview
New airside drivers have to learn a large, featureless site with strict access rules, mandatory hold points and aircraft that always have the right of way. Most of that learning normally happens in an operational vehicle with an instructor. AVOPSIM moves it to a training station: trainees drive the real layout, read the real signs and lighting, meet moving aircraft and vehicle traffic, and repeat until routes and procedures are automatic. Recurrent training and re-qualification use the same missions with updated layouts.
