WX-SYSTEMS THIRD GEODETIC TRAINING COURSE!, 30 June 2005

In June 2005 WX Systems held the THIRD training Course on Geodetics for Procedure Specialists. The Course was held at our Training Centre in Switzerland, and was attended by 6 civil aviation experts.

The 5 day training course is designed to compliment the Wx-systems software suite and discusses the theory and practice behind many of the spatial requirements used within the software applications. The course covers all the basic principals that govern the description of a coordinate and takes a gentle stroll through the subjects of geodesy, coordinate systems, coordinate reference systems (CRS) and map projections. The participants will be further introduced to the specific coordinate reference systems WGS84 and ITRF2000. 

The course also covers the roll of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) within current positioning requirements along with what will be available in future years. An in-site is provided into how a position and quality assurance is determined using the Global Positioning System (GPS) along with worked examples.

Training Courses can be held at our Training Centre in Switzerland or On-site. For further information please contact us via e-mail: training@wx-systems.ch
