Cirrus Design is now offering simulator training for their new
Perspective avionics installation on SR22s. Frasca International
has upgraded their existing Frasca Cirrus Flight Training Device
(FTD) with new Perspective avionics from Garmin. The device was
installed this month and is up and running at the Cirrus facility.
Cirrus currently has two Frasca FTDs, both originally delivered in
February of this year. One of the FTDs has been upgraded with the
new Perspective avionics.
The FTD features Garmin avionics that include dual 12" screens
(12.4), SVT (Synthetic Vision Technology), HITS (Highway In The
Sky), A new concept LVL (level) button on the Autopilot that
returns the aircraft to a wings level attitude and IAS button on
the Autopilot.
"The Cirrus Perspective Avionics combined with Frasca simulation
technology gives us the most advanced trainer in the training
business," commented Bill Stone, Director, CD Flight Standards and
Operations.
"We chose to make the switch in
avionics following the announcement of the new Cirrus Perspective
by Garmin so that we we will be able to provide the best overall
training experience for our customers."
"Frasca engineers have worked closely with Cirrus and Garmin to
ensure the concurrent development of the FTD and the aircraft,"
commented John Frasca, VP Frasca International, Inc. "This is one
of the first general aviation aircraft to be supported by an FTD so
early in its production schedule and is a clear indication of
Cirrus's commitment to training and safety."
