Showing Off A NextGen Cockpit Sim
Frasca International will display its new "Mentor" flight
training device during AOPA Expo (November 3-5, Tampa, FL in booth
1402 and at NBAA, November 9-11 in Orlando in booth 3066). The
Mentor on display in the Frasca booths will feature Garmin
G1000.
Frasca says its Mentor is a simulator capable of training pilots
to fly integrated avionics systems such as the new Garmin G1000 or
Avidyne Entegra as well as conventional instrumentation without
investing in more advanced FTDs. While compact in size, the Mentor
is a high quality simulator with an extensive features list and
uses much of the same technology as Frasca’s high level FTDs
and FFSs.
For smaller schools, Frasca says the Mentor can serve as the
school’s only simulator and will provide high quality
simulation for flight training. Larger schools will find the
Mentor performs best as Part Task Trainer complimenting Frasca's
TruFlite and Level 6 Flight Training devices, according to a
company statement. Such schools would use a mix of devices,
Mentors for navigation training, the TruFlite for aircraft
familiarization, VFR training, and more, and Level 6 FTD's which
allow schools to expand simulator credit under part 142.
The Frasca Mentor includes an FAA approved flight data package,
Jeppeson Nav data, full size flight controls including rudder
pedals and brakes, conventional instrumentation or Garmin G1000 or
Avidyne Entegra, Graphical Instructors Station (GISt),
multi-channel sound simulation, and TruVision visual system with
optional display systems.
