System Uses Five Screens To Deliver High Level Of Realism

Precision Flight Controls, Inc., has introduced a full-immersion, five-screen version of its renowned M.F.D. Modular Flight Deck system. Combined with worldwide terrain mapping, a global navigation database, and support for 13 single- and multi-engine aircraft, the five-screen M.F.D. produces a highly realistic and flexible pilot training environment.

Representatives with PFC tell Aero-News the M.F.D is ideal for flight schools, aviation colleges and universities, corporate flight departments and others who require maximum quality and capability but at a fraction of the cost of other advanced flight training devices.

"The M.F.D. delivers maximum capability and flexibility to our customers depending on their flight training needs," said Kimberly Budak, marketing director of Precision Flight Controls. "The five-screen visual system really brings stunning realism to the M.F.D. and provides a sense of motion which is usually associated with far more expensive, non-upgradeable systems. Customers also can start with a single-screen system and expand the M.F.D. as they see fit."

The system comes standard with dozens of features -- including an avionics stack, interchangeable single- and multi-engine throttle quadrants, and a comprehensive instructor’s station. Options include GPS, standard or glass-cockpit instrumentation, bezeled or non-bezeled instruments, control loading, motion and custom aircraft development.

The M.F.D. includes FAA-approved software with flight models for 13 general aviation aircraft and a worldwide navigation database. The M.F.D. system can be purchased with the configuration needed -- single or dual controls, desktop, partial deck or full cockpit -- and customized or expanded over time.

M.F.D. systems are available immediately, with pricing ranging from $25,500 to $55,000 and visual systems from $10,000 for one channel to $52,000 for the five-channel 180 degree visual system with worldwide navigation data.

Precision Flight Controls designs and manufactures a comprehensive line of flight training devices ranging from desktop procedure trainers to advanced three-axis, full-motion, commercial simulators.
