Passenger Boarding Bridge

Passenger boarding bridge docking practice. Docking, retraction and checks for jetway operators, without an aircraft at the gate.

Boarding bridge docked at a gate on the Winnipeg digital twin

Program overview

A bridge strike on a door or fuselage grounds the aircraft and starts an investigation. New bridge operators rarely get enough supervised dockings before they work alone, because every one needs an aircraft at the gate. AVOPSIM models the bridge, its console and your aircraft types so operators can dock, retract and repeat without a turnaround in progress. The bridge model, console layout and aircraft types are configured to your gates.

Note

Boarding bridge training is a new program with pilot installations available. Start at one gate and expand.
