ASTi has received contract awards from Pilatus in Switzerland to equip fifteen advanced turboprop aircraft trainers for the French Air and Space Force, Belgian Air Force, and Royal Netherlands Air and Space Force. The contracts were awarded at the end of 2025 to support initial pilot training programmes.
Each trainer will incorporate two ASTi products: the Telestra audio and communications system and the Simulated Environment for Realistic ATC (SERA).
Telestra will handle crew and simulated radio communications, environmental sound, and aural cues. Pilatus engineers will use Telestra's development toolkit to build aircraft-specific audio and communications models for each trainer.
SERA provides a dynamic air traffic control environment with realistic traffic generation across more than 10,000 airports and helipads worldwide. ASTi engineers will expand SERA's coverage to include additional European airfields for these programmes. Following delivery, ASTi will work with programme administrators and instructors to refine procedures and behaviours.
Both products comply with multiple simulation standards, allowing integration with new or existing training devices. Together, they are designed to reduce the cost and complexity of incorporating separate subsystems into a flight simulator.
