FTD
conf_ftdWe provide the industry with affordable, high fidelity and quality simulation . In doing so, AeroSimulators makes simulation available to operators large and small in size and budget.
Aerosimulators views the FTD level 6 as the best buy off between the expensive Full Flight Simulators and the more than affordable base line AATD. When in need of type specific training the FTD  level 6 offers you the best economic solution.


Visual System

visualsystemAt 170° horizontally by 75° vertically, and with detailed scenery, the visual system permits flight manoeuvres to be taught, as well as providing a compelling way to teach flight in poor visibility and transition from VFR flying to IFR. The visual system far exceeds the FAA requirements for Flight Training Devices, but is essential for quality training. The FTD has a complete IFR instrument panel, with a worldwide database of navigation aids.

Instructor Station

To assist in IFR training, the OCRA eye-tracking system is installed as standard. This innovative device has already proven its worth for monitoring instrument cross-check and is currently exclusively available only from Aerosimulators.

Environment

fntp-trailerThe FTD can be installed in a climate controlled, highly mobile trailer, so there is no need to build separate facilities or modify existing space. All that is needed is a place to park and electrical power. Using a trailer means that the training can be given, wherever the need arises. This without expensive pilot transport and unavailability costs.
