Overview
The cockpit at the heart of training
Realistic training starts where pilots interact with the system, in the cockpit. REISER simulator cockpits combine true-to-scale geometry with type-specific hardware and a level of detail matched to the training requirement.
The challenge
Training systems have to meet several requirements at once. They should handle like the real aircraft, run reliably in daily service and keep pace with changing configurations. At the same time, original parts are hard to source, maintenance-intensive and, above all, not designed for use in a simulator.
The solution
REISER develops full-scale cockpits as a stand-alone hardware solution or as part of an FFS, FTD or mission simulator. Replicated panels, instruments and controls are developed specifically for simulator use and run on a high-performance I/O and bus architecture. The result is a realistic cockpit matched to the platform, the training objective and the intended system architecture.

The system in detail
A high-fidelity simulator cockpit is more than a true-to-scale shell. REISER combines structure, controls, control loading and interfaces into a robust hardware basis for professional training systems.
1
Replica & structure
The cockpit structure is designed true to scale for the respective aircraft type. Panels, instruments and controls can be manufactured as REISER replicas or, depending on project and availability, combined with OEM components. The design accounts for accessibility and efficient maintenance from the outset.

Control Loading System (CLS)
Realistic control and operating forces are an important part of cockpit interaction. Depending on the application, a control loading system can be integrated to simulate control forces realistically.

Realistic haptic feedback
Adaptation to FFS, FTD and mission requirements
Optional dedicated cueing systems for military applications
3
Architecture & I/O
The cockpits use the REISER CAN bus architecture and the established REISER CANaerospace protocol. In-house I/O boards connect panels, instruments and controls to the host simulator and create a clear basis for reliable and maintainable system integration.

4
RoRo & Interchange
Selected helicopter cockpits can be designed for integration into the REISER RoRo system. Cockpit modules can then be exchanged within a suitable simulator platform. Alternatively, the cockpits can be integrated into FFS, FTD or mission simulators as a stand-alone hardware solution.

FAQ
Typical questions about high-fidelity simulator cockpits, from type availability to integration.
Which aircraft types are available?
REISER offers high-fidelity simulator cockpits for the Airbus H125, H135 and H145, the Leonardo AW139 and AW169, the NH90, the Eurofighter Typhoon and the Pilatus PC-21. Actual availability and configuration are confirmed based on aircraft type, training objective and project scope.
Can the cockpits be integrated into a REISER RoRo platform?
Yes. Suitable helicopter cockpits can be prepared for the REISER RoRo system and integrated into a matching simulator architecture as interchangeable modules. The mechanical, electrical and software interfaces are agreed on a project basis.
Are the cockpits also available as a stand-alone solution?
Yes. The cockpits can be used as a stand-alone hardware solution or as part of a Full Flight Simulator, Flight Training Device or mission simulator. The exact scope of integration depends on the system environment.
Do you use original parts or replicas?
Both are possible. REISER develops high-fidelity replicas of panels, instruments and controls. Depending on the project, original or OEM components can also be integrated. The right strategy is defined on the basis of training objective, availability, interfaces and life cycle requirements.
Are the cockpits suitable for FFS and FTD qualifications?
The cockpits are designed for integration into FFS and FTD systems. Qualification always applies to the complete training system, not to the cockpit in isolation. Requirements for replica level, hardware, software and evidence are therefore defined at the level of the specific system configuration.
How are panels and controls connected to the simulator?
The cockpits use the REISER CAN bus architecture and the REISER CANaerospace protocol. In-house I/O boards connect the cockpit components to the host simulator. The exact interface design is adapted to the respective platform and system environment.
Can control loading and dedicated cueing systems be integrated?
Depending on the cockpit and the training requirement, controls, control loading and further cueing systems can be integrated. For military applications this includes G-seat motion cueing as well as simulated anti-G and breathing air systems.
How is long-term maintainability ensured?
The cockpits are designed with accessibility, maintenance and long-term operation in mind. REISER replicas, in-house I/O boards and the CAN bus architecture reduce dependence on individual OEM components and support predictable maintenance.
