Frasca RTDs Receive CASA Approval in Australia

Three Have Been Delivered For Training At Melbourne And Tamworth CAE Facilities

Frasca International has received Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) approval on their RTD (Reconfigurable Training Device) as a category B synthetic trainer. Three Frasca RTDs have been delivered to CAE for use at CAE Melbourne and CAE Tamworth training facilities in Australia. The three RTDs are reconfigurable between the Cessna 172 and Piper Seminole, all with G1000 NXi Avionics and feature a three-channel visual system.

The first Frasca RTD’s installed at CAE by Aviation Simulator Technology received CASA certification in July 2019.

Frasca International has a relationship with Australia for more than 35 years. Flying Schools and Airline Colleges in Australasia choose Frasca devices because of their high fidelity and reliability. Frasca's leading edge R&D which led to the development of the new Reconfigurable Training device (RTD), now enables customers to implement the latest technology at a lower cost than ever before. This is enabling the use of a greater number of devices at a time when the industry is expanding and has increased needs.

The Frasca RTD is easily reconfigurable between different aircraft models and between legacy analog and modern Garmin G1000 NXi glass avionics. The RTD is built using robust hardware for reliability and features a browser-based Instructor Operator Station (IOS) which can be controlled by phone, tablet or desktop computer. The RTD can be configured with a single or three channel visual display system and includes digital sound simulation.

Benefits of the RTD include easy maintenance and diagnostics and a modular design that takes up minimal floor space and will fit through a standard sized door. The RTD can also be easily installed and is backed by Frasca's outstanding customer service.

Frasca's RTD provides a high level of realism that enables the students to transfer a greater amount of learning from the AATD to the aircraft. Frasca's aerodynamic models have been validated by the FAA on higher level full-flight simulators and include physical modelling of all significant components and effects of the aircraft class.
