AeroTURN Pro - Features and Compatibility

• Perform aircraft and ground vehicle forward, reverse, and oversteer turning simulations through mouse movements using SmartPath tools with three interactive drive modes
• Perform aircraft simulations using maximum nosewheel or effective steering angle to evaluate aircraft apron, taxiway, and runway clearances
• Create aircraft simulations with a minimum clearance from an apron element (i.e. enter ICAO guidelines for minimum wheel clearance from taxiway curves)
• Oversteer option gives realistic representation of how an aircraft negotiates oversteered conditions such as when parking an aircraft along lead-in lines or defining space requirements at runway-to-taxiway intersections
• Place aircraft and support vehicle simulations on arcs, polylines, complex chains, or splines
• Track landing gear and wing tip paths with user defined clearances
• Create pilot conical lines of sight to evaluate mirror views, blind spots or headlight paths
• Engage or disengage steerable main gear (on supported aircraft) during forward maneuvers
• Generate maximum effort aircraft turning simulations for airfield design checks to accommodate high angle turning or large aircraft access

• Display safety clearance lines and aircraft ground service points at aircraft stand for apron design
• Drag multiple aircraft along a lead-in line to a predetermined single stop line position
• Generate apron safety clearance lines that account for all aircraft assigned to a specific stand
• Redesigned Gate Setup interface providing context sensitive design information
• Support for multiple boarding bridges and lead-in lines per gate
• Display filtered list of acceptable boarding bridges for selected aircraft assigned to a gate
• Draw each defined stop line along a selected lead-in line and label with specific aircraft

• Carry out bridge docking operations for both rotunda to aircraft and aircraft to rotunda
• Perform docking with multiple boarding bridges docked to a single aircraft
• SmartBridge automatically calculates bridge slope with ‘Heads up’ onscreen view
• Show passenger boarding bridge’s maximum operating limits and user-defined safety limits
• Calculates maximum bridge slope, cab and rotunda rotation and bridge tunnel extension
• Ability to dock the same passenger boarding bridge to multiple docking doors in a single process
• Create custom passenger boarding bridges to desired specifications
• Shift the docking point relationship from the aircraft door center to the passenger boarding bridge cab center to be the leading edge of the door
• View suitable stop line locations where aircraft can be docked to multiple boarding bridges
• Ability to override the min/max lift column values and max bridge slope for docking simulations

• Addition of towbarless pushback tractor in both front and all wheel steering configurations
• Aircraft pushback and towing operations with tractor and towbar configuration
• Mark the tractor centerline path for towing and the aircraft main gear centerline path for pushback
• Select from a filtered list of appropriate aircraft and tractor combinations

• 145 new aircraft and the ability to install expanded aircraft libraries
• 40 new helicopters to the aircraft library from manufacturers including: Bell, Boeing, AgustaWestland, MD Helicopters, Eurocopter Group
• Aircraft specifications library from major manufacturers including: Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Cessna, Lockheed Martin , Learjet, Gulfstream, Northrop Grumman, BAE, Learjet, Dassualt, Antonov, McDonnell Douglas and more
• Passenger boarding bridge library from manufacturers: CIMC-TIANDA, DEW, Jetway Systems (FMC), Sovam, TEAM, NKI Aviobridge and the new ThyessenKrupp ‘Crystal Wall’ bridges
• New airside ground support vehicles including fire and rescue, catering, and luggage trains
• Ability to create aircraft, passenger boarding bridges, and ground support vehicles with custom specifications and dimensions

• Display aircraft fueling and service points with operational radii
• Display aircraft jet blast envelopes at idle, breakaway, and takeoff speeds to ensure adequate safety zones for ground crew operations
• Show standard ground servicing arrangements around a stationary aircraft
• Set tracking points on or off the aircraft for envelope creation during a turning simulation
• Generate apron safety clearance lines that account for all aircraft assigned to a specific stand
• View ground service point locations for electrical, waste disposal, fuel, oxygen, air and hydraulics

• Produce gate reports indicating which aircraft docks at which a gate and using which door
• Create apron reports with slope and directional information for gates
• Create reports on lead-in line start/end coordinates at gates
• Generate aircraft turn simulation reports showing aircraft speed, path lengths, and start conditions at each section of the simulation
• Create gate reports of all aircraft stand positions complete with bridge model, locations of rotunda, parked cab, and stop lines with assigned parked aircraft positions
• Create and display a report of aircraft or bridge docking simulations with information on bridge slopes, lift columns, rotunda elevation, and door sill heights
