The true to original replica of an Airbus A320 flight deck, used as a Fixed-base Flight Training Device, allows simulation of countless aspects utilized during flight operations, including manual control of the aircraft through Fly-by-wire technology using real side-sticks.

The apron control simulator replicates the movement of aircraft and ground service vehicles at an aerodrome, so that a test person can perform the tasks of an apron controller for research purposes.

The software tool-chain TOMATO and the subjacent flight performance model SOPHIA allow the multi-criteria optimization of flight trajectories with respect to safety, operating costs and emissions. Considering both current ATS airspace restrictions and future requirements arising from SESAR, various scenarios can be assessed as fast-time simulations.
