Wavionix Software, the industry leaders in procedures designer software, is organising various training and evaluation courses throughout 1999.  The objective of these courses is to assist PANS-OPS specialists and airport planners to understand how instrument flight procedures and Annex 14 surfaces for airport planning and development can be calculated and constructed in 2 or 3 dimensions via a computer aided design system. 

The Wavionix Procedures Designer and Airport Surfaces Planners are designed to ICAO criteria, and the delegate quickly appreciates the substantial timesaving of using Wavionix software tools over their existing manual methods. Literally hours of tedious calculations can be processed in seconds using Wavionix tools.

The next Training & Evaluation of Computerised Design Course will start on April 19 th through to April 23, 1999, and costs 4,000 pounds sterling per delegate to include accommodation, transfers, all hardware and software facilities, food & beverage and VAT.  This six-day course, gives a complete introduction of how to design procedures by computer using WPD5.0 and Annex 14 surfaces using WASP.

The first Advanced Evaluation Course is due to be held in May of this year in the United Kingdom (exact dates to be confirmed), and is aimed at qualified procedures designers with PANS-OPS experience, or experienced Wavionix WPD users.

To date, Wavionix courses have been attended by specialists from all over the world including the Slovenian, Portuguese, UK and South African CAA's, and Air Traffic Service providers from the

FAA/DoD's Mitre Corporation to Frankfurt Airport.

Feedback from the courses always underline the substantial time saving benefits associated with using WPD software tools and the added security of avoiding human trial and error. Where appropriate, training courses can also be held on site, these include The Swedish CAA, Eurocontrol and Bahrain International Airport.
