FLYIT PROFESSIONAL AIRPLANE SIMULATOR SPECIFICATION

Specifications Demonstrations Delivery times

STANDARD FEATURES INCLUDED IN EVERY SIMULATOR

FAA APPROVED FOR:

• 2.5 HOURS VFR
• HALF THE IFR TIME REQUIREMENT
• ALL THE IFR CURRENCY REQUIREMENT
• IFR RECURRENT TRAINING
• INSTRUMENT PRACTICAL TEST
• TIME TO COMMERCIAL
• TIME TO ATP
• FAA Letter Of Approval

 

NAVIGATION AREA:

• The entire world can be navigated with accurate terrain and obstruction elevations.
• Scenery and navaids are provided for thousands of airports and en-route areas.
• Build your own local scenery, airport structures and approaches.
• Unlimited flight scenarios can be created by the instructor, saved and repeated until the student gets it perfect.
• 20,000 airports with Jeppesen database.
• Moving map, flight review, print vertical and horizontal flight path
• There is no limit to the length of flight that can be flown.
• If it’s on the chart, you can navigate it.

5 AIRPLANE FLIGHT MODELS WITH APPROPRIATE GAGES:

• Generic, high-performance, single or twin.
• Single engine-Cessna 172, 182, 182 RG.
• Multi engine-Piper Seneca III, Beech B 58 Baron.
• Torque from engine out condition (asymmetrical thrust) effects rudder pedals as in real aircraft (twin configuration).
• Various flight instruments can be user specified and changed: DG, HSI, glass panels, etc.
• Soft flight and engine instruments allow constant user upgrading and reconfiguration to the latest gauges and glass panels. Panel consists of two 15" flat panel color LCD monitors.
• V numbers for the specific aircraft used for training can be easily selected and changed at any time by the user.
• Single and multi-engine reciprocating, turbo-prop and turbine aircraft can be simulated.

 

DUAL FLIGHT CONTROLS:

• Complete pilot and co-pilot controls are standard, including toe brakes.
• Control yoke is typical of all light, high performance, singles and twin, with switches for: push to talk, pitch trim (centers yoke to pitch trimmed position).
• All controls perform like they do in a typical general aviation aircraft.
• Aerodynamic feedback yoke.
• Rudder pedals are hydraulic damped, providing realistic feel and resistance.
• Throttle, prop and mixture rotating levers (as in all twins).

 

AVIONICS STACK - upgraded simulating Bendix/King Gold Crown:

• Dual NAV/COM
• ADF
• Remote DME
• Transponder
• HSI
• RMI
• Audio Panel
• Auto Pilot

 

METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS:

Virtually all VFR and IFR weather conditions are selectable: rain, winds variable in velocity and direction at various altitudes, cloud types change with altitude and time, visibility changes from 0 to CAVU, including clouds and fog, outside air temperature can vary with altitude and position. All cloud types can be selected. Turbulence severity can be selected at various altitudes. The selected conditions can be saved and used for later flights.

 

Instructor Command Center (ICC):

The normal instructor's position is in the right-hand or co-pilot seat. From this position the instructor can record flight segments with an inside the cockpit view or with an external view of the aircraft for replay later and immediately re-fly a segment. The co-pilot's seat will slide aft to the instructor's desk with leather chair, mouse, keyboard, printer, and 4 LCD monitors, for viewing flight progress along with the setting up of flight conditions. The instructor can provide ATC instructions, on the fly weather change with a selection of any  meteorological weather condition including any kind of precipitation along with a change in clouds and wind direction at multiple elevations simultaneously from the co-pilot or instructor desk position. Relocate the aircraft, fly with real time weather and local or global changing in route. A fire extinguisher is supplied at the instructor station.

 

COMPUTERS:

Athlon - FX62

One computer runs the out-the-window view, the soft instrument panel and the flight simulation.

A second computer provides on the fly weather change. Jeppesen 20,000 airport database with associated navaids. Entire earth surface with accurate elevations/obstructions. Backup hard drive with entire operation system and simulation. Available third party toolset lets you build your own detailed scenery airports, hangars, etc.

 

COCKPIT AIR-CONDITIONING:

RV style air-conditioning is include when installed in trailer.

 

Ground Reference Out-the-Window Display (GROW):

A rear projection system measuring 95" wide x 78" high provides a 90^o vertical and 110^o wide field-of-view. The GROW Display uses an LCD  projector that provides a resolution of 1400 x 1050. Brightness is 2500 ANSI lumens with a 1000:1 contrast ratio. A 210º GROW Display system is also available. Spare projector bulb is included.

SOUND SYSTEM:

Four channel satellite subwoofer sound is provided.

 

FULL SIZE COCKPIT:

General cockpit interior dimensions are identical to a Cessna 182.

Dual controls with FLYIT "Real Feel" (RF) flight controls. Cockpit construction is of SINTRA PVC board, which is extremely rigid and is colored all the way through so it will not chip or peal. 4 place intercom, 2 headsets and subwoofer sound system. The cockpit is completely self-contained, with computers and monitors mounted onboard.

WARRANTY:  4 year warranty. The longest in the simulation industry

TECHNICAL SUPPORT:

Technical support is available by telephone from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM PST, Monday through Friday.

 

MAINTENANCE:

The FLYIT Professional Airplane Simulator is built around a soft instrument panel, which looks and functions exactly as the real aircraft. A huge maintenance advantage is gained since there are virtually no mechanical parts such as gages to keep running and calibrated.

The FLYIT cockpit will require one-fifth to one-tenth of the maintenance required by competitive simulators, while delivering the performance of cockpits costing three to four times as much.

 

PILOT AND CO-PILOT SEATING:

Seats are adjustable fore and aft.

 

POWER REQUIREMENTS:

The complete cockpit system will operate on 120V 15 amp or 240V 7 amp circuits. The non-interruptible power supply provides automatic voltage surge and stabilization, and up to 5 minutes emergency operation.
