Aero-News Quote of the Day
"The acquisition of the Frasca AATDs dovetails with the deployment of a new catalog of flight and maintenance training coursework at Moody, which highly integrate the fidelity of Frasca’s flight and systems operations into both the visual and instrument phases of training professional airman. They will also equip maintenance specialists with valuable systems operation and troubleshooting principles. An added benefit for Moody Aviation students will be the ability to continue programmed flight training during the unpredictable weather which often accompanies the winter months of the Pacific Northwest. We eagerly anticipate incorporating the new Frasca FTDs into our flight and maintenance training curriculum. These simulators will launch Moody Aviation into the next decade enabling us to train students on the very equipment they will be flying around the world following their graduation from Moody. We are grateful for Frasca’s amazing customer service and high quality simulation that
will play a part in impacting thousands of lives around the world!”
