Equipe ^TM Continental Database (CDB)

Equipe's Continental Database (CDB) expands the concept of flight simulation visual training environments from current networks of local airport regions to continental sized areas containing the entire set of operational airfields set within a high detailed geo-specific terrain and cultural landscape. This is made possible through Equipe's Equater™ CDB automatic modelling tools capable of incorporating very large data sets of detailed digital airfield information. Equipe have developed the tools and processes to update and keep current continental sized simulation environments at regular intervals with an ever growing richness of environmental data whilst integrating fully with the specified visual training features deployed on the most sophisticated training systems. Includes every airfield within the coverage area Any airfield may be enhanced as required, up to and beyond FAA / JAA Level D Supports inclusion of legacy / existing databases Provides uninterrupted large area WG84 compliant geo-specific terrain North American continent European continent Global The inclusion of the airfield models within the Continental Database equates to 1,352 airfields within Europe, and 6,338 airfields within North America. Each of these airfields may be used 'as is' for navigation and landing operations, or may be modified as specific needs dictate up to and beyond JAA / FAA Level D via industry standard tools such as Equipe's Equater™. As standard these airfields include All airfields within the continental database include Precise runway location Runway lighting systems Actual runway heading and numbering Correct runway altitude Airfield specific landing aids (PAPI & VASI) Taxiways Supports inclusion of legacy / existing databases Databases may be inserted within the Continental database Existing databases may be reused Actual runway heading and numbering Geo-specific buildings and structures may be included Ensures maximum return on modelling investment In addition to these airfields, the continental database provides unrivalled geo-specific terrain mapping, derived from the latest satellite imagery, to give highly detailed 'on route' terrain.

The use of the Equipe CDB allows unlimited training to be performed over vast areas of very high detail, and provides the ability to navigate to and land at ANY given airfield, straight out of the box.
