Simulation for
Technically Advanced Aircraft

Tommorrow’s cockpit is here today, and it’s a far cry from yesterday’s “6-pack” instrument displays. Even for general aviation aircraft, Primary Flight Displays (PFDs), Multi-function Displays (MFDs), GPS, Mode S Transponders with TIS and other advanced avionics offer enhanced position awareness and safety but also present new training challenges. Aviation insurance underwriters will require that as much training as possible for Technically Advanced Aircraft take place in full motion simulation devices like the Fidelity MOTUS.

The broad acceptance of TAA aircraft is even causing the FAA to rethink how primary flight training is conducted. New programs like FITS (FAA/Industry Training Standards) are providing a framework for flight training organizations to accelerate training in TAA aircraft by utilizing a variety of training tools, including simulation devices.

simTrain LLC has purchased three MOTUS simulation devices that are type specific for the Cirrus SR22 and SR20 aircraft. These devices will help establish new training and safety standards for Technically Advanced Aircraft.

At Fidelity Flight Simulation, all MOTUS simulation devices are capable of supporting TAA training. Only the MOTUS features both round dials and a primary flight display on all of its reconfigurable MOTUS 622i FSDs, as well as a wide range of type-specific simulation devices for Technically Advanced Aircraft.
