ADMT is an aircraft specific training platform for simulating RTO scenarios. The focus is not on the drill, but on the decision making.

The objective:
Reduce the risk of overruns, runway excursions and major aircraft damage due to unwarranted high speed RTOs and unwarranted RTOs after V1 using a low-level, low cost, easy access training tool.

ADMT is the result of two years of research and a four-digit number of hours of programming. More than 300 RTO incidents and accidents were sighted and analyzed.

Our aircraft specific, Microsoft Windows^TM based software shows the flight deck environment in the take-off phase. A wide variety of malfunctions and conditions can be simulated and require the pilot to either continue or abort the take-off. The application is highly adaptable to customer’s wants and needs, and comes with a sophisticated analysis function to visualize our take-home messages.

Experience and understand message inhibits and system behaviour with relation to speed and kinetic energy.

Message inhibits are designed to provide intuitive guidance: If it get’s noisy, reject. But if you look closely, it’s not always quite that easy. Knowing what to expect helps to build confidence in the aircraft and in one’s own abilities to judge correctly.

Identify high risk scenarios where our intuition may lead us in the wrong direction.

Even with good system knowledge, there are situations where it is very easy to come to the wrong conclusion. Let’s find out what they are – because if we are quick with the drill, but the decision isn’t the correct one, we are just moving down the wrong path at high speed.

Develop canned decisions, enabling pilots to make adequate choices under time pressure.

Mental preparation for scenarios we have never been confronted with in the simulator allows us to develop canned decisions – our best defense to battle startle and surprise in a time-limited situation. Apart from the really important part – the safety aspect – this may also have a commercial benefit, such as avoiding unwarranted low speed RTOs.

“Pilot’s have difficulties in recognising ‘Unsafe-to-fly’-conditions; the Decision-Detection-Action-process still takes a lot of time!“

While ADMT does not focus on the RTO drill, it provides decision making challenges and analysis that a full flight simulator can’t.
