Frasca's newest device, the Mentor AATD (Advanced Aviation Training Device) is quickly becoming a familiar sight in flight schools worldwide. New orders for G1000 equipped Mentors from Sky Venture Aviation, Purdue University, LeTourneau University, and Vectair cap off a flurry of orders for the popular device which is widely used for training pilots to fly integrated avionics systems such as the G1000 and Avidyne's FlightMax Entegra. Mentor devices are also in use at West Valley Flying Club, Executive flight Training, Rocky Mountain College, Fox Valley Technical College, and Suburban Aviation among others.

The Frasca Mentor is a simulator capable of training pilots to fly integrated avionics systems such as the new Garmin G1000 and FlightMax Entegra as well as conventional instrumentation without investing in more complex flight training devices (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 higher level Flight Training Devices (FTDs).

According to John Frasca, Vice President of Frasca International, “We developed the Mentor as a Part Task Trainer to support the new generation of integrated avionics such at the Garmin G1000.  We felt that a part task trainer could be of value to the training industry. 

The Frasca Mentor includes an FAA approved flight data package, Jeppeson Nav data, full size flight controls including rudder pedals and brakes, conventional instrumentation, Avidyne FlightMax Entegra or Garmin G1000, Graphical Instructors Station (GISt), multi-channel sound simulation, and TruVision visual system with optional visual display systems.
