SINGAPORE: Visitors to the Singapore Aviation Academy (SAA) Open House will be able to get a glimpse into the training for air traffic controllers and airport firefighters.

Alongside these two free guided experiences, members of the public can also participate in a range of interactive games, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) said on Monday (Mar 4).

The three-day event held by the training arm of CAAS, themed "discover, experience and play", will run from Mar 7 to Mar 9. It will be open to visitors from 9am to 5pm at 1 Aviation Drive.

The Air Traffic Control Simulator guided experience will give visitors insight into the vital role played by the School of Air Traffic Services.

"Visitors can also step into our specialised tabletop and 360° Aerodrome simulator for unique day and night views from the 'control tower'," said CAAS.
