DARSSY

Controller Training Position (CTP)

DARSSY comes with a default Controller client that is designed for best user experience. It includes all a trainee will need: tracks with their respective labels (aka data blocks), track filters, safety nets, electronic strips et. al. It is customizable to meet a moderate level of modification.

For the cases where the customization level of the default CTP is not enough and a more accurate User Interface is required, you can opt for a customized simulated CTP built from the ground up according to your needs. You can see a portfolio of CTP customizations on the right.

DARSSY pseudopilot

Tackle the pseudopilot challenges with the intuitive user interface of DARSSY and avoid mistakes that could ruin the trainee's exercise. DARSSY pseudopilot has been designed for simplicity and flexibility.

Track colorization is used to specify different flight states and increase situation awareness.

DARSSY Pilot puts an end in printed scenarios as it introduces a sophisticated electronic scenario system. Pseudopilot operators don't have to take their eyes from the monitor to read the scenario. Electronic scenario can be controlled by scripting, giving unlimited customization and tuning opportunities.

Editor

Creating and amending ATC training scenarios with DARSSY is straightforward and intuitive. Flights can be created with drag and drop, route can be edited by choosing points on the map and all other details of the flight can be set through a compact and intuitive dialog. DARSSY scenario editor is smart enough to memorize frequently used routes and allow you to reuse them as you progress, saving you precious time during exercise design. Also you can preview the exercise from within the editor from any time point desired, saving time while tuning the exercise.

Scripting

The real power of DARSSY lies in its extensibility and flexibility which allows customization of virtually any important aspect of the simulation without having to use bloated and complicated user interfaces. Using DJ-API or DARSSY JavaScript API, you can do amazing things such as:

Change wind parameters and move weather areas
Amend aircraft performance to simulate differences between aircraft operators
Alter the parameters of any flight to simulate emergency descends or manage uncontrolled flights

and lots more.

You should not worry about the 'geeky' programmatic nature of scripting. JavaScript is an easy to learn, easy to use language, gaining significant popularity among programmers and average computer users. Also DJ-API is heavily documented and there are lots of ready to use scripts shipped with the product.

Miscellaneous Features

Session Recording and replay
All sessions are recorded so that they can be replayed at some later time. Sessions can even be restored and played from any point and beyond.

Radar head simulation
Radar signals are simulated by using a technique similar to raycasting for emulating terrain blind areas. Terrain data come from SRTM project.

Ground Radar
Ground radar has been taken one step further and it can be used to assist pseudopilot in handling takeoffs more efficiently, avoiding unwanted traffics when a plane lands or performs missed approach while another flight takes off.
