, cabin and cargo fire. Fire training simulators also offer flexibility for the right training activity while providing maximum safety at all times. They are used by municipal, industrial fire and rescue departments, international airports and military throughout the world. Ground collisions and accidents can be created as a part of a large-scale training exercise involving fire, ambulance and police cruise, ground staff and air crews. In addition, secondary incidents can be developed providing training on controlling incidents that can occur around the aircraft. Every activity is managed and viewed from the control tower. When aircraft crash, specialized

and rescue tactics are required. However, using multi million dollar aircraft is not a viable option - even for the largest of companies. Full size mock-ups of several types of aircraft exist that are realistic training tools. These are dramatically less expensive to produce and are reusable.ACA Engineering Consultants
