ETC's Newest GA Trainer Goes to Fuerza Aerea de Chile

ANN Sponsor Environmental Tectonics Corporation announced its latest sale of a GAT-II® General Aviation Trainer, to the Chilean Air Force, of Santiago de Chile.

Fuerza Aerea de Chile's largest military cadet flight training school in Chile will use the GAT-II to expand its flight training curriculum for cadets who learn to fly in the T-35 Pillan. A benefit of utilizing the GAT-II will be to provide training in the hazards associated with spatial disorientation during flight.

First in South America to get this advanced Spatial Disorientation training:

Spatial Disorientation training emphasizes the physiological hazards which pilots could experience. Fuerza Aerea de Chile is the first customer in South America to offer this type of advanced pilot training. FAA statistics show that when spatial disorientation is involved in a mishap, nine out of ten of those mishaps are fatal.

ETC recently introduced the GAT-II(R) family of motion based, General Aviation Trainers (GAT-IIs) which are available in Single Engine, Multi-engine, Helicopter and Regional Jet versions. Each GAT-II supports VFR, IFR, as well as Spatial Disorientation (SD) training. The motion platform provides roll, pitch, and yaw in response to pilot input. The visual display provides an impressive photo-realistic terrain database with accurate modeling of major cities and terrain features. The list of features includes selectable meteorological conditions, instructor selectable malfunctions; various map views and contains all FAA listed airports and navaids.
