Full Sim Of The Aircraft-Specific Flight Deck On A Personal Computer

Aerosim Technologies, the recognized leader in low cost, hi-fidelity simulation software training products within the aviation industry, announced Sunday that one of the world's leading international airlines has completed in-plant acceptance of the Airbus A330 Virtual Flight Deck (VFD).
 
With the completion of this milestone, the airline's training staff will begin using the Virtual Flight Deck in their training footprint.  This reflects significant progress within a larger project of providing full systems courseware and Virtual Flight Deck environments for each of the carrier's fleets.

The Virtual Flight Deck (VFD) is a full simulation of the aircraft specific flight deck brought to life on a PC. With the VFD, pilot and maintenance technician trainees can scan, view and operate all panels, controls, indicators and displays within the flight deck.  The VFD provides access to the entire flight deck using a single screen. It allows real-time interaction with the aircraft systems in a complete free-play training environment. Trainees can master preflight checks, automated flight, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, approach and landing procedures as well as non-normal and emergency procedures.  All aircraft systems are fully simulated in an integrated environment within the flight deck.
 
Aerosim President, Dave Rapley said "We are thrilled with our partnership and pleased to work with one of the biggest airlines in the world."

Aerosim tells ANN the name of the airline is being withheld due to confidentiality requirements.
