The entire value chain under one roof
Five steps from the real system to the supported training system, all in house. Each step can also be commissioned on its own as an engineering service.
1 · Data acquisition
Capturing the behaviour, geometry and operating logic of the real system as the basis for every model
2 · Design & Modeling
Flight dynamic models, simulation software and system design, OEM-independent up to FFS Level D
3 · Production & Integration
Cockpits, panels and assemblies from our own manufacturing, integrated with software and visuals into the complete system
4 · Implementing the training solution
Qualification by the responsible aviation authority, commissioning at the customer site, ready for training
5 · Long-term support
Service, spare parts and updates over the service life; reverse engineering when parts or data are missing
Six training fields
