Entegra System, Dual GPS, Backup Instruments And CAPS Simulator
Deliver Added Realism
Frasca International is
demonstrating an Avidyne Entegra-equipped Frasca Flight Training
Device (FTD) for the Cirrus SR22 at AirVenture 2006.
The Frasca SR22 FTD with Avidyne Entegra features two 10.4-inch
diagonal, high-resolution, sunlight-readable displays, including an
EXP5000 primary flight display (PFD), an EX5000 multi-function
display (MFD) and a GPS. The system uses an FAA-approved flight
data package, Jeppesen NavData, full-size flight controls including
rudder pedals and brakes, Graphical Instructors Station (GISt),
multi-channel sound simulation, and TruVisionTM display system. The
system includes backup instruments and a CAPS parachute recovery
simulation for added realism.
"Avidyne has played an important
role in helping to make the Cirrus SR22 FTD a highly realistic
training environment," said John Frasca, Vice President of Frasca
International.
"Given the popularity of Entegra and the Cirrus SR22, flight
schools will appreciate being able to offer a high-fidelity
training environment."
"We continue to work closely with Frasca as they build
true-to-life simulators for the best-selling Cirrus aircraft with
Entegra integrated flight decks," said Mark Sandeen, Avidyne's vice
president of sales and marketing.
"It is part of our strategy to enhance our market growth and
leadership by supporting a robust and widely available training
infrastructure while improving flying safety."
