Strengthening Partnerships in ATC Training Innovation: Visual Vectoring and CAUC

Posted: 14 January 2025

It is always a pleasure to meet with our long-standing partners at the Civil Aviation University of China (CAUC), with whom Visual Vectoring has collaborated since 2017. During our recent visit, discussions centered on the innovative new training system, TULIP (Task-based Ultra Learning Intelligent Platform), which is being implemented across universities and operational sites throughout China.

TULIP is the creation of Master Yongxin Liu (pictured above second from left, alongside Teacher Brian Zhao, Visual Vectoring Managing Director Michael Rowland, and Ivy Liu from Beijing Connected Vision Technology). Master Liu shared insights into the platform’s development, explaining how his classroom observations revealed that younger students, accustomed to technology-driven environments, often struggled with traditional learning methods. Determined to address this, he spearheaded the creation of TULIP in collaboration with fellow CAUC academics.

The TULIP platform offers an adaptive community learning environment, leveraging a variety of data collection methods to tailor educational experiences to individual preferences. In the field of ATC training, TULIP’s associated technologies enable students to collaborate effectively and build meaningful connections with experienced air traffic controllers.

At Visual Vectoring, we are exploring opportunities to integrate our standalone training and simulation solutions with the TULIP API. We look forward to collaborating with Master Liu and the experts at CAUC to enhance aviation training experiences further.
