Air Traffic Control — Candidate Assessment
Know who belongs in terminal controlarea controloceanic controlthe tower before training starts.
Falcon is a web-based ATC simulation and assessment platform that gives Air Navigation Service Providers objective, data-rich reports on candidate aptitude — at a fraction of the cost of traditional screening.
The Problem
ATC training is expensive. Attrition is unpredictable.
Traditional ATC screening relies on aptitude tests and interview panels that struggle to predict real-world performance. Training programs cost tens of thousands of dollars per candidate — and washout rates can exceed 50%.
ANSPs need a better signal before committing to full training pipelines.
Our Solution
Study-level simulation, accessible in a browser.
Falcon delivers a realistic, browser-based radar simulation environment backed by our Separation Integrity Engine and AI-powered voice recognition layer. Every session generates a detailed, objective candidate report — no evaluator subjectivity required.
Core Capabilities
A study-level terminal area radar environment built in Unity and deployed to the browser via WebGL. Candidates work real traffic scenarios with aircraft following realistic flight dynamics.
WebGL · Unity · Real-timeOur proprietary SIE detects >99% of separation violations in real time. It predicts future conflicts using predicted intercept vectors (PIV) and enforces all horizontal, vertical, and terminal-area separation rules.
Proprietary · Patent-pendingCandidates issue real voice commands. Our LLM-based inference layer understands non-standard phraseology, corrects transcription noise, and scores communication quality against ICAO standards.
LLM · ICAO · Real speechEach run produces a weighted numerical score incorporating error severity, planning efficiency, communication quality, and multitasking performance — with full audit trails per aircraft and per transmission.
Automated · AuditableEvaluators get a structured report covering simulator scores, learning metrics, skills grading across 15+ categories, and AI-generated interview questions tailored to each candidate's specific performance gaps.
AI-generated · Per-candidateThe entire platform runs in a modern browser — no downloads, no IT overhead, no specialist hardware. Candidates can be assessed remotely or on-site with nothing more than a headset and a laptop.
Zero-install · Cross-platformThe Assessment Report
Every candidate, quantified.
Here's what an evaluator sees after a candidate completes their simulation sessions.
How It Works
Three steps from candidate to decision.
Candidates complete simulation sessions
Using only a browser and headset, candidates work through a series of progressive radar scenarios — managing real flight strips, issuing voice commands, and handling live traffic.
Platform scores every action automatically
The SIE and voice inference layer score each session in real time — tracking separation violations, communication quality, planning efficiency, and multitasking across all aircraft simultaneously.
Evaluators receive a structured report
A detailed per-candidate dashboard shows scores, skills grading, common error patterns, and AI-generated interview questions — giving hiring panels everything they need to make a confident decision.
