Urbana, Illinois-based Frasca
International has received an order for two Cessna C172 FNPT IIs
(Flight and Navigation Procedures Trainers) for Saint Petersburg
State University of Civil Aviation (SPSUCA) in Russia. The sale was
facilitated through Jet Transfer SARL, the Cessna aircraft
representative in Russia. The school has also ordered 12 Cessna
172S Skyhawk aircraft.
The two STDs will be the first Frasca devices sold to and
installed in Russia. They will feature Frasca's newest technology
including TruVision Global visual system, Graphical Instructor
Station (GISt), Electric Control Loading, Digital Sound and more.
They will be outfitted with Jeppesen Navigational Database and
Garmin G1000, GFC700 Autopilot, Garmin Audio panel, Garmin WAAS and
more to simulate the C172 aircraft. They will be qualified as FNPT
II STDs (Simulated Training Devices).
"Jet Transfer company is very proud that the Saint Petersburg
State University of Civil Aviation has selected the Cessna 172S
aircraft and two Frasca FNPT II simulators to upgrade their flight
training equipment," commented Sergey Filatov, Aircraft Sales &
Management, Jet Transfer. "We are certain that having these new
modern aircraft and simulators will make the University a leading
pilot training center not only in Russia, but in Eastern Europe as
well."
"Frasca is thrilled to have Saint Petersburg State University as
our first customer in Russia," said John Frasca, VP, Frasca
