Flight Training Device Now Certified

The Spanish State Aviation Safety Agency (AESA) has certified the Aerodynamics Academy’s Simloc A320 flight simulator, of the FTD + MCC APS category, in its new facilities, located on the Aeronautic Campus of the Vélez Málaga Aerodrome, in Spain.

This flight training device was delivered by Simloc last year. It is composed of a fixed-base hemispherical fiberglass module, 7 meters in diameter by 4 meters high, in which an immersive and functional original A320 cockpit is integrated with a direct vision system of three full HD projectors and a continuous semi-cylindrical screen 3 meters high. It offers a field of vision of 210-by-40-degrees for each pilot; a sound system and a modern instruction station (IOS).

Let the countdown officially begin! WATS 2021 is open for registration. Find out more  here.

Simloc has developed for the IOS an integral management software, called Simulator Management Control Suite or SMC Suite, in which the objective is to help the operator in the management of all the functions of the simulator. Through two applications, the Simloc FSTD Manager and the Simloc IOS, the instructor can, for example, perform user management and control, programing and scheduling sessions, debriefing the session or managing maintenance incidents, among its others many functions.

The flight model, systems and procedures of the A320 FNPT II+MCC are based on the Airbus Data Package (SSP), essential for certification, in which a dynamic behavior like that of the real airplane is achieved.

From now on, Aerodynamics Academy can expand its education and training offer with Airbus cabin familiarization courses, company access tests, IR training (RNAV, PBN, etc.), MCC APS, TEM / CRM / EBT courses and MPL programs.

In addition, this device is, for the moment, the only one in Spain that incorporates the automated ASTI / SERA air traffic control (ATC) simulation program, with artificial intelligence. This system allows students to interact precisely with control towers and properly manage communications in flight, which contributes by increasing the realism of the practices. For example, from starting engines to parking on the platform, the pilot can communicate with different controllers which may have different English accents as radio frequency and airspace change.
