KEY FEATURES

Software

The simulation software used in the Flight Training Device (FTD) provides the system functionality and accuracy to ensure the high fidelity demanded from modern flight training devices.

​

Automated Lesson Plans

The FTD includes modules in the Instructor Operator Station (IOS) that supports the creation of lesson plans (snapshots), allowing for direct utilization of a particular flight phase or exercise and is completely customizable by the instructor. This reduces lesson set-up time allowing multiple lessons in a single session in a minimum amount of time.

​

Multi-Modal Learning

The fidelity of the simulation, coupled with the broad scope of the systems replicated, provides the flight training department with a quality training device that can supplement other FTD and/or FFS-based training.

​

Full Control Loading

The simulator's flight controls are actively force-loaded, rather than relying only on springs or mechanical resistance, usually used in other similar FTD's. 

For the pilot, this provides:

• Yoke force feedback — the yoke resists movement with aircraft-like forces.

• Pitch and roll loading — control forces change as the simulated aircraft state changes.

• Variable control forces — rather than one constant resistance throughout the yoke movement.

• Rudder pedal loading — appropriate resistance/feel provided to the pedals.

• Control-force changes associated with flight conditions — the objective is to reproduce the changing “feel” of the aircraft rather than just its physical geometry.

• Stick-shaker functionality — the simulator specifically lists real B737 stick shakers among its control-dynamics features.
