Multi-criterion Evaluation of the Criteria of the Information Model Conformity of the Air Traffic Controller Simulator to the Real System

The aviation industry plays an important role in the world economy. Shortly, thousands of highly experienced specialists will be required at the global level. Simulation training of aviation operators, including air traffic controllers, is an extremely important stage of professional training, which requires demonstrating the integration of several areas of knowledge and skills. The paper presents an approach in which a certain simulator is purposefully used for simulation a working environment, considering specific practical training tasks. For this purpose, it is proposed to use expert evaluation methods and fuzzy-logic methods for obtaining reliable results in the lack of accurate initial data and considering the uncertainty of information. For the evaluation of practical activities, it is proposed to use the multiplicative aggregation of the results of simulator training, which allows to conclude that the operator has captured the necessary knowledge and skills and acquired the necessary competencies under the training tasks. It is proposed to apply the outlined approaches to establishing the criteria for determining and using air traffic control simulators in the development of national technical standards for the evaluation of simulators for training air traffic controllers.
