ATR Series of Cylindrical Altitude Chambers

Reimers System's ATR series of cylindrical altitude chambers is designed for pilot training for both civilian and military pilots. Training available with these chambers includes recognition of the symptoms of anoxia, rapid decompression events, night vision maneuvers, operation of oxygen breathing systems, operation of aviation communications systems, and operation of pressure suits.

All of RSI's hypobaric chambers feature air conditioning, large observation windows, superbly clear multi-channel communications systems, modern aircraft oxygen regulators, easy to use controls with inside chamber override, digital and analog altitude displays, and adjustable seat positions. Chambers have an altitude range from local altitude to over 100,000 ft. (30,300 meters.)

Floor plans for the various ATR Chambers:

ATR - 16 Altitude Chamber with 12 students, 2 attendants in the main lock and 4 students, 1 attendant in the entry lock.

ATR-12 Altitude Chamber with 8 students, 2 attendants in the main lock and 4 students, 1 attendant in the entry lock.

ATR-6 Altitude Chamber with 4 students, 1 attendant in the main lock and 2 students, 1 attendant in the entry lock.

 

Cloth upholstered stadium style seats fold up easily and can be moved or removed without hassle. Seats are easy to clean, easy to use and comfortable. Each student seat also has a folding tablet arm.

This seating system is similar to the systems being retrofitted into most U.S. Air Force altitude chambers.

 

Large viewing window allows excellent view of students and chamber interior from outside the chamber. Operators outside the chamber can easily see if a problem arises inside the chamber.

An aircraft quality intercom allows clear communication between all the students and instructors.

Reimers Systems provides only quality installations, down to the equipment and oxygen services rooms in the facility. We don't just build it to work, we build it to work throughout the years. Our facilities will provide years of training for your pilots.
