Allows Pilots To Familiarize Themselves With Entegra
System
Flight 1 Aviation Technologies told ANN Tuesday its Avidyne PFD
Multimedia courseware is now available, enabling pilots and owners
of Avidyne-equipped aircraft to efficiently operate and familiarize
themselves with the Avidyne Entegra EXP5000 Primary Flight
Display.
Developed in cooperation with Avidyne, the courseware presents a
series of lessons and interactive flight scenarios in a knowledge
based, building block approach: course sections are unlocked as the
student progresses.
Student comprehension is measured by means of several
multiple-choice tests and flight scenarios. During the flight
scenarios, the student demonstrates his or her grasp of the
material by correctly selecting the appropriate PFD function(s),
and by correctly answering operational questions. In all cases, the
student must achieve a minimum score of 80% before proceeding to
the next section.
The flight scenarios are presented in an interactive format in
order to ensure the highest possible comprehension and retention.
Upon successful conclusion of the course, the student will be
issued a Certificate of Completion.
"Students and users of Avidyne equipped aircraft can now fully
understand how to use the PFD in an interactive environment in the
privacy of their home and at their own pace," said Jim Rhoads,
Flight1 Tech's vice president. "Coupling this courseware with our
Avidyne Student simulation, designed to work with the popular
Microsoft Flight Simulator platform, will allow users to become
more proficient and knowledgeable in the usage of the Avidyne
systems without having to incur flight expenses such as aircraft
rental, fuel costs and cockpit distractions."
Flight 1 Aviation Technologies Avidyne PFD Multimedia Courseware
is available in DVD format and requires a Windows XP operating
system, DirectX 9 compatible sound card and an optional internet
connection. Retail single user pricing: $149.95. Corporate flight
departments, university, and training facility licenses are
available.
