Training for Single-Engine Aircraft
Te advanced avionics and flight procedures available in Level 6 and 7 FTDs are very useful for single-engine aircraft training. Tis level of simulation costs significantly less and is an affordable option for many operators. Quite often, the visual effects on these FTDs rival that of their larger Level D cousins. FTDs are often used as training for inadvertent entry into instrument meteorological conditions (IIMC) and basic IFR instrument
procedures. When looking at Level 6 and 7 FTDs with
or without a motion base, Frasca has been the industry leader. Frasca’s FTDs are used around the world and provide all the functionality required for certification by regulators.
Ab Initio Training
Advanced aircraft training devices (AATDs) are very useful at the flight-school level for teaching procedures and for practicing flight
maneuvers, start procedures, and checklists. Tey not only prepare the pilot for flight in the aircraft but provide a safe and cost-effective alternative for much-needed practice. Basic desktop training models are also very
useful for training on different types of avionics and checklist procedures. Sometimes desktop simulation is used to teach “differences training” that demonstrate the variations among the simulator and models with different technology or equipment installed. Tese devices can also be used by pilots with only analog experience to become familiar with digital cockpits. As the flight schools prepare pilots for careers

in aviation, desktop trainers are an affordable resource for practice time on advanced tech- nology and digital cockpits A digital technology transition course could prepare new pilots for careers in many industry sectors and might also draw some experienced pilots that have been limited to analog cockpits. Te ideal situation is to have a combination of hands-on training, practice equipment, and the time to practice to proficiency. In some training situations, simply providing
the aircraft on the ground for technology practice is very helpful. Tere are some large training providers and aircraft manufacturers that have added technology as a separate training segment. However, this has been mostly limited to some full-service training on the larger aircraft and a few factory courses.

Simulation Training Costs Costs for simulator training vary, based on the type and function of the device and the cus- tomer’s requirements. Rates may be higher for more complex simulation scenarios; operators who buy a bulk training package of a large number of hours in a year may pay less. Te cost for full courses depends on the type of aircraft and the complexity of the course. Te cost to rent or lease simulators also

varies, depending on the type of simulator, its location, level of demand, and whether an instructor will be provided. Full-service training providers such as FlightSafety, Airbus, Bell, and Coptersafety offer either a full-course price or hourly rate for simulator training. Tis can range from $600 per hour for a Level 6 or Level 7 FTD to $2,000 per hour for a Level D simulator
