Dutch-based TRC Development b.v. has announced new
products in The Real Cockpit's line of Aircraft Training Devices:
The TRC 472 Flight Simulator and the Radio Stack RS 372. The TRC
472 is a very realistic Aircraft Training Device, very precisely
modelled after the original Cessna 172 Skyhawk. There's no
difference between the original full panel of a Cessna Skyhawk 172,
except for the position of the trim wheel and fuel switch. All
other instruments are in exact position and you cannot tell the
difference between the original aircraft panel and the TRC 472. It
has a provision for the TRC Rudder Pedals, but one can also use any
third party Rudder Pedals in combination. The Radio Stack, type RS
372, is very precisely modelled after the Bendix King Silver Crown
line and consists of the following devices: KMA28 Audiopanel,
KX155A COM1/NAV1, KX155A COM2/NAV2, KN62A Digital DME, KR87 ADF
System, KAP140 Autopilot and the KT76CT Transponder. One of the
benefits of the RS 372 Radio Stack is that you can position each
radio as you like, since they are all separate devices, driven by a
single controller. The Radio Stack comes in a cabinet and is ready
to use.
The complete TRC 472 has to be connected to a PC
with 1 USB cable and runs on 110v./60Hz. or 230v./50Hz. It is
driven by commercially available Flight Simulator software. The RS
372 Radio Stack is connected by one USB cable to the PC running
commercially available Flight Simulator software. The TRC 472 and
RS 372 are the ultimate Training Devices for pilots. Pilots using
TRC’s Training Devices need fewer hours in the actual
aircraft and gain more experience than with aircraft training
devices utilizing LCDs. TRC Development b.v. is currently applying
for JAA, FAA and Canadian Transport approvals. The TRC 472 has a
lead time of 3 months. The RS 372 Radio Stack has a lead time of 2
months.
TRC Development designs and manufactures realistic Flight
Training Devices utilizing replicas of real instruments. The first
products in a line of ATDs, FTDs and Full Flight Simulators are
based upon the Cessna 172 Skyhawk, the world's most popular single
engine aircraft. Recently TRC Development signed an agreement with
the Delft University of Technology's (TUD) Faculty of Aerospace
Engineering, renowned for their accurate flight dynamics models.
This cooperation enables TRC Development to deliver full flight
simulators with excellent flight dynamics.
