University in Thailand Adds Motion Simulators

ELITE Simulation Solutions has completed the installation of two ELITE Diamond DA42 FNPT II simulators equipped with a full 6 Degrees of Freedom (6DOF) motion platform for NPU University in Thailand.

Built around the ELITE Diamond DA42 platform, the simulator combines flight dynamics, Garmin G1000 avionics simulation, cockpit replication, and certified FNPT II capabilities. The 6DOF system provides pilots with motion cues during critical flight phases, instrument procedures, abnormal situations, and multi-engine operations.

The DA42 FNPT II on a 6DOF motion platform allows students to develop procedural proficiency, situational awareness, crew coordination, and decision-making skills in an environment that mirrors actual flight conditions.

The simulator will support training activities including IFR procedures, multi-engine instruction, emergency and abnormal scenarios, navigation exercises, instrument rating preparation, and pilot proficiency development.

"This simulator will provide students with an exceptional training experience and prepare them for the demands of today's aviation industry," said René Huddlestone, Director of Marketing & Sales at ELITE Simulation Solutions. 

The installation adds to ELITE's presence in Asia, reflecting demand among universities and training organizations for simulation solutions that combine realism, certification compliance, and long-term operational value.
