Simulation Equipment

The ATSSL maintains an extensive inventory of simulation equipment designed to align with functional task requirements and facilitate effective learning transfer for participants.

We are committed to assisting users in selecting the most suitable equipment to meet their specific learning objectives. Our cost recovery model ensures that the ongoing maintenance of equipment is sustainably managed, maximizing the longevity and reliability of all resources.

While equipment is a crucial component of a successful simulation experience, it is just one part of the broader training process. 

All equipment is intended for use within the ATSSL labs. Off-site use requires prior approval and is subject to specific permissions and requirements. This includes completing an equipment rental agreement, which outlines associated costs and conditions of use.

SPECIALIZED SIMULATION EQUIPMENT
