Visionaire announces the
release of ABACUS 2.0
- ATPL, CPL and IR exam prep at its best –
Aartselaar, December 18th 2002 - Visionaire launches ABACUS
2.0. This e-learning tool is especially customised for Flight
Training Organisations (FTO’s) and their Airline Transport
Pilot Licence (ATPL), Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) and
Instrument Rating (IR) students under JAR/FCL.
ABACUS 2.0 sharpens the
student’s knowledge required by JAR and trains the student the
way the real exam will be presented. It contains more that
11000 questions in its database. By integrating ABACUS 2.0 in
its curriculum, the FTO will have all the tools in-house to
work on the quality of future airline pilots.
“Already in version 1.0 of
ABACUS we helped more than 1000 ATPL students all over Europe
to prepare for their JAR exam. ABACUS gave them the pace and
the knowledge to pass the test” says Bernard Panier, CEO of
Visionaire. “With ABACUS 2.0 we go a step further by giving
FTO’s the possibility to incorporate ABACUS in pre- and post
course evaluations and to keep track of test results which is
a JAR requirement.”
ABACUS 2.0 has four powerful
modules:
1. The TEST module uses a database with more than 11000
questions and allows the students to take three different
tests: the random, JAR and FTO tests. The FTO test is an exam
prepared by the FTO, JAR exams only contains JAR questions and
emulate actual JAA tests and Random tests are user defined
tests where questions are selected from the complete database.
2. Via the Statistics and Performance module, students
can monitor their progress, keep track of test scores and redo
exams anytime, anyplace until satisfied of the result.
3. The discussion Forum is the place where students can
discuss all database question related subjects. The FTO can
assign an instructor to follow the discussions and
participate.
4. The FTO module allows the flight training
organisation to manage student accounts, to analyse test
results and to generate reports. This feedback can be used to
evaluate the ground training program and to assure quality.
Also, the FTO module is used to create, schedule and manage
FTO exams.
ABACUS is an internet
application which has all the features an FTO needs built in,
without the need of managing a complex web application. Also
ABACUS can easily be integrated in the FTO’s inter-/intra-net
environment. It offers all the information the FTO needs to be
compliant to JAR rules.
A demo of ABACUS 2.0 can be found on www.aerosolutions.be.
