Tom Howard Jones is the New Business Director of Micro Nav. He has 15 years experience of Air Traffic Control simulation and training business development and general management; and a further 10 years experience of systems engineering and product management in real time training simulation for the oil and marine industries.
In 1988 he started the new ATC Simulation and Training business in the UK division of Hughes Aircraft Company and forged the relationship with Micro Nav. FIRST- the simulator invented, developed and supported by Micro Nav – was licensed exclusively to Hughes and became one of the most successful products around the world, thanks to powerful teamwork of the two complementary companies.
