Electronic navigation skills are critical for small craft crews that operate at high speed in reduced visibility. NetSim is a computer deployed electronic navigation training tool that integrates real-time radar, chartplotter and GPS with flexible training lessons. Adding NetSim to your organization's small craft training program can:
Increase training frequency and focus
NetSim can be delivered through virtually any computer, allowing crews to repeatedly practice tasks and extend their training beyond the boat or the classroom. NetSim also allows instructors to deliver flexible training lessons that cater to the specific needs of their crew.
Reduce training costs
NetSim enables organizations to optimize their training budget by allowing crews to complete lessons before they ever have to step in a boat or a classroom. NetSim also limits exposure to lost training time due to weather and reduces operation and maintenance costs by minimizing wasted on-water training time.
Mitigate training and operational risk
NetSim allows crew to practice dangerous navigation tasks in a safe, simulated environment. Repeated exposure to rigorous situational training means that crews will be better prepared to handle difficult operations when put to sea.
