See It For Yourself At Lakeland!

Elite Simulation Solutions told Aero-News the company has received FAA approval of its RC-1 Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD). The approval was made official on March 29, following an evaluation of the device at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University.

The Elite RC-1 AATD is a full-featured training device with life-size, high-resolution instruments and an external visual system with a 60-inch DLP Display as standard equipment. The RC-1 includes simple, complex, and twin-engine aircraft modules with associated three and six-lever throttle quadrants. In addition, by connecting any handheld GPS and/or EFB, the RC-1 can serve as a training platform for some of today’s most advanced navigation systems. Optional items available for the RC-1 include the Garmin GNS 430 or 530 GPS and vernier-style throttle controls.

"The benefit-to-cost ratio just improved dramatically with the new certification of our latest ATD," says John Dixon, Elite President/CEO. "Following our low cost, high tech philosophy we are proud to offer a device for under $30k that has the same flying credits as an FTD level 3 trainer. Similarly certified devices are normally tens of thousands of dollars more, often putting them out of reach for all but the largest training organizations."

"The new RC-1 is a real viable option for smaller organizations that want to integrate simulation technology into their training programs, or for larger organizations needing several systems," Dixon added. "Simulation devices such as the RC-1 will continue to play an important role in training and proficiency as aircraft become increasingly sophisticated." 

People attending the upcoming airshow in Lakeland, FL April 4-10 will be able to see the RC-1 AATD in person by visiting Elite at booth D24/25.
