On Friday, September 26, Riga Aeronautical Institute officially inaugurated its new 3D Air Traffic Control Simulator, designed for basic, intermediate, and advanced ATC training. The simulator enables realistic air traffic management — assigning routes, issuing departure and arrival clearances, coordinating airspace, and preventing conflicts. High-resolution visuals recreate airport environments with moving and stationary aircraft, vehicles, terrain, markings, variable weather, time of day, and lighting.The event was attended by RAI management, staff, and guests from the aviation industry in Latvia and abroad. The simulator will help both students and experienced controllers enhance their skills and meet the highest standards.
