Learning Environment
EAVA is situated in two study and research centres - one at Tähtvere, Tartu, and the other at Ülenurme, Tartu County. The would-be ATCs and pilots have most of their classes at Ülenurme which is also an airport. The students of the specialities of Communication and Navigation Systems Management , Aviation Company Management and Aircraft Maintenance have most of their classes at Tähtvere.
Ülenurme Study Centre
ATC Simulator Complex
The simulator consists of:
- 3 Radar Working Positions (WPs)
- 1 Radar Instructor/-Supervisor
- 2 Tower WPs
- 1 Tower Instructor/-Supervisor WP
- 8 Pseudo-Pilot WPs
- 180 degrees 3D Display System
ATTower/TOWSIM is a simulation system that performs the tasks required to train Tower and Radar Controllers, individually or as a team. The software provides a realistic model of aircraft movement and simulates the Tower, Apron and Approach and En Route Controller Positions.
FNPT II MCC Simulator
Flight Navigation and Procedures Trainer type II is aircraft specific and presents the trainee with the training environment virtually the same as the real environment.
It enables to provide:
- Ab-initio Training
- Transition Training, Recurrent Training
- Multi Crew Cooperation Training
- FNPT II MCC can be configured to represent a type related multi-engine turbo prop commercial aircraft (King Air 200) flight deck with the possibility to change the configuration to a generic multi engine piston (Seneca V) aircraft flight deck
- Visual System - Cylindrical Screen
- 180 degrees horizontal Field of View
Library
The library has about 8,000 information units and is divided between the two study and research centres according to the specialities taught at one or another study centre. The main collection is situated at Ülenurme and the branch is at Tähtvere.
Computer Classrooms
EAVA has computer classrooms in both of its study centres equipped with software necessary for learning engineering sciences, e.g.
- MATLAB
- MathCAD
- AutoCAD
- SolidWorks
- SolidEdge
- CorelDRAW
Lecture Rooms
The lecture rooms have all been renovated and equipped with modern technical devices to meet the needs of contemporary teaching process.
Tähtvere Study-Research Centre
The Laboratory of Communication and Navigation Systems
Industrial training models:
- Basic communication trainer KL 900A (14 training models)
- Analog communication systems KL
- A/M and F/M transmitter and receiver
- Fiber optic communication systems
Original DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) beacon Software (MATLAB) and computers for simulating of navigation systems.
Modern measuring devices :
- Spectrum Analyzers FS 300 and FSH3 (Rhode&Schwarz)
- Vector signal Generator SM 300 (Rhode&Schwarz)
- Signal Generator SM 300 (Rhode&Schwarz)
Motoring and Loading Test System for Engine Test Stands (Schenck)
The operational system includes:
- AC induction motor with test bench
- Torque measuring system
- Speed measuring system
- Variable frequency drive system
- Digital test stand controller for engine management
- Fuel supply measurement system
- Air supply measurement system
The entire system, which includes AC induction motor, variable frequency drive, test stand controller and safety module is designed and tested to interact in any kind of development, performance or function-testing stand. The application spectrum ranges from simple steady-state test stands to sophisticated transient test stands for the simulation of road load, driver behavior and driveline components.
Laboratory of Avionics
Laboratory of avionics includes all necessary equipment to test modern aircraft instruments and avionics systems. Test stands in EAVA avionics laboratory can be used to test:
- Pressure instruments such as altimetres and speed indicators
- Radio navigation systems like VOR and ILS
- Radar systems like transponders and weather radar
- Gyroscopic instruments
- Electrical equipment instruments
- The laboratory has a collection of various cross-sections of avionics instruments
ReLANpro Language Class
ReLANpro – Digital Language Studio is a combination of the teaching network and language studio programme that have been integrated into the same user interface. The language class at Tähtvere study centre has 12 student and one teacher working position.
Tähtvere Branch Library
The branch library provides materials for teaching and learning the specialities of Navigation and Communication Systems Management , Aviation Company Management and Aircraft Maintenance.
Computer Classroom
The computer classroom is equipped with 14 working positions.
Lecture Rooms
The lecture rooms have undergone renovation and are learner friendly.
