Long Term Supply Agreement Reached For Flight Training Device
Grob Aircraft AG, Mattsies/Germany has selected Frasca International, Inc., Urbana, IL to provide flight simulation technology and expertise under a Long Term Supply Agreement (LTSA) for the new Grob G 120TP-SIM flight training device (FTD).
The new established Grob Aircraft Simulation Department being responsible for the complete simulator cockpit with avionics, controls and furnishings, and the aircraft data package. Frasca being responsible for the base assembly, control loading and I/O systems, the Instructor/Operator Station (IOS), the computational system and associated simulation software models, and the visual image generators and visual database. Final assembly and testing of FTD’s will occur at Grob’s location in Germany, whereas the initial units will be integrated and tested at Frasca’s factory.
The FTD’s will utilize original aircraft parts providing the highest fidelity physical representation of the aircraft hardware and will be built to be capable of meeting the requirements of FAA Level 6 or EASA Level 2. As a result, the Grob G 120TP-SIM FTD offers multipurpose training tasks – starting with screening activities during the contact flying phase and proceeding up to advanced flight training in order to prepare every student – rookie or professional – in combination with and in addition to real aircraft training as best as possible.
The first six orders placed under the LTSA are currently in development and production, which will result in G 120TP FTDs being delivered to the Myanmar Air Force and the Mexican Air Force, with an additional FTD for use by Grob Aircraft own in-house training system.
