Basic information

Air Crew Training has flight simulators and other flight training devices for the following aircraft types: B737, A320, ATR72/42, A310.   They are used especially for flight crew training, but also for cabin attendant training and for “fun flying” by a paying public.

Full Flight Simulators (FFS) are simulators with the 6 DOF motion base may also be used as  FBS – Fixed Based Simulators.  They can closely simulate all weather conditions, aircraft motions and avionic systems.  A sophisticated visual system can simulate many world airports.

Flight Training Devices (FTD) are used for pilot training and are very similar to full flight simulators.  The FTD ATR 72/42 is a flight simulator without a motion base.  Other functions are similar to those of the FFS.  The MFTD A320 is very similar and allows for technical engineer training too.

Cockpit Procedure Trainers (CPT) are additional flight crew cockpit identification devices   and are used for flight crew procedures training.  The actual panel is replaced with simple pictures or photographs.  Important controls are available in 3D.
