    General Robotics Ltd. (GRL) has opened an ROV pilot support and assessment center in Aberdeen. GRL has also developed assessment metrics software, which when used with a ROVolution simulator, can objectively assess a pilot’s performance of key ROV flight maneuvers such as maintaining a flight path and tether management. The software also evaluates core competencies, like the use of navigation aids, spatial awareness, and timekeeping.

    A news items was published here at ROVworld.com (in greater detail) a few days back. You can still find the full article on the front page (at the time of this post) or in News archives at a later date.

    We have also added a downloadable .pdf file in the downloads section of the website under ROV/Training.

    Whilst some may scoff at the idea of an ROV simulator others may one day indeed find themselves sitting in a pilots chair looking at a simulated construction scenario prior to heading offshore to carry out a project.
    Giving it some thought I can see how a facility like this may appear attractive to the main operators to be used as a training aid prior to deploying millions of Euros worth of equipment offshore.

    best regards

    James,

    It always amazes me, especially whilst sitting on a plane in mid-air, that people scoff at flight simulators. Simple question arises…. What if the plane manufacturers and airlines did not have these facilities? I suspect there would be quite a few more horrific air disasters and a lot less pilots being able to land a wounded plane in say,… the middle of a large city on water…

    I’m sure some people will baulk at the thought of being ‘tested’ (I for one would have no problem with being tested as long as all expenses were paid by the person requesting the test) but I view the idea as one that might highlight idiotic design faults on subsea installations like grabber bars on the right of a control panel, or white paint being used underwater when Yellow is the best colour of choice. Yep! Been there!
