Aerosim Technologies is launching their Virtual Flight Deck (VFD
TM) and Virtual Procedure Trainer (VPT TM) for the Adam A500 at the
2007 NBAA Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Both trainers will be on
display in the Adam Aircraft booth #4933.
David Thompson, Adam Aircraft Director of Pilot Training
comments, "Adam Aircraft is dedicated to providing the highest
quality training in the world that is convenient and accessible to
our customers. The Aerosim Virtual Flight Deck is vital to this
effort. The VFD will allow our customers to become intimate with
the systems of their aircraft without taking time away from their
day-to-day lives."
The Adam A500 marks Aerosim's move to general aviation aircraft
with the Virtual Procedure Trainer. It joins a long list of VPT
devices already developed for wide range of commercial aircraft
from Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Embraer and others. Aerosim
Director of Sales, Joe Hartmann says, "We are very excited to bring
our proven training technology to the general aviation market." He
continues, noting, "Our ability to provide a full range of training
devices - including distance learning capabilities - makes us very
well suited to this market."
The VPT utilizes simulation to actively engage students in the
learning process. For the Adam A500 configuration, four touch panel
screens replicate the cockpit and allow students to view and
manipulate all panels, controls, indicators and displays therein.
The VPT allows real-time interaction with every aircraft system in
a structured training environment or in complete free-play mode.
Theory, practice, technical details, operational issues and human
factors are brought together in a realistic environment.
