The University of South Australia has launched the latest delivery of its Air Space Management course using Visual Vectoring’s VVSIM simulator. As a popular elective, the course gives students practical exposure to radar-based air traffic control and helps them explore ATC as a potential career path within the aviation sector.

Students gain a realistic understanding of ATC operations through a combination of supervised lab sessions and independent practice via remote access. This is a rich and dynamic learning opportunity that offers a refreshing alternative to conventional academic formats.

Developed in partnership with Visual Vectoring, the courseware is based on the VVEnroute program and includes custom exercises aligned with UniSA’s learning objectives. The 2025 rollout includes an updated simulator version, performance feedback, and integrated assessment tools. Students benefit from expert instruction, flexible access, and exposure to industry-relevant tools and procedures used by air traffic professionals around the world.
