The present invention relates to a controller training apparatus for a traffic controller controlling a commercial aircraft. FIG. 2 shows an example of a controller communication between the controller training apparatus 40 and the training controller. The response timing of the device 40 is, for example, a request for the pilot to take an action, a response from the pilot based on an instruction of a controller, a report from the pilot when the aircraft comes to the designated position, and the like. Since these responses can be processed by the computer, their requests, responses, reports, etc. are described in advance as scenarios, and the training controller 7

Next, an operation example of the voice recognition response unit 42 showing the features of the controller training apparatus 40 according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be described below. First, the simulated aircraft pilot 0100 automatically generates an aircraft according to a scenario. Next, pseudo-control communication data (for example, a permission signal) from the controller training device 40 is transmitted to the training controller 7 according to the scenario. The signal transmitted from the controller training device 40 to the training controller 7 is converted into a voice by the voice synthesis processing unit 10 and an onomatopoeic sound is generated.
