Abstract:

The rapid development of civil aviation puts forward high requirements of the air traffic controllers'quality and quantity,meanwhile the corresponding training and cultivation in related colleges are limited by the shortcomings of controlling simulator. Through detailed studies of ACT3 and comparison with the current
controlling simulators,the innovation,advantages and disadvantages of this software are discussed, as well as the applicability of which in aviation controller training. According to the features of ACT3,some optimizing suggestions are proposed,making better applying in controller training, improving training quality and efficiency and satisfying the urgent needs during civil aviation development in China.

Key words: air traffic control, controllers'training, control simulation, ATC3, control scene
