Level D Sims Will Relocate To Orlando, FL
Eclipse Aerospace, Inc. and SimCom Training Centers have
announced a partnership to provide pilot training for EA-500 owners
and operators. Eclipse will relocate two EA-500 Level D simulators
to SimCom's training center in Orlando, FL. The type-specific,
high-fidelity training devices will be utilized by SimCom to
provide initial and recurrent pilot training. Simulator
training is scheduled to be available in the third quarter of 2010.
To conduct the training, SimCom will develop a comprehensive suite
of advanced training courseware including animated systems
presentations, fold-out color panel posters, technical systems
manuals and cockpit procedures trainers.
Both simulators currently replicate the
EA-500 and include the Avio integrated avionics system.
Aerodynamic and engine flight test data, combined with control
loading, provide realistic flight control behavior. A wide radius
visual system incorporates new day/night and all-weather imagery,
which is a highlight of FAA Level D simulators. Selected airports
are modeled with highly detailed features that accurately represent
the real operating area. Converging traffic on the ground and while
airborne offers operators the opportunity to train for conflict
recognition and avoidance. Weather phenomena is improved with new
features including dynamic thunderstorms with rain shafts, ragged
ceilings, blowing snow, patchy fog and scud. Planned upgrades
include the Avio NG 1.5 suite along with autopilot enhancement, GPS
WAAS capability and Flight Into Known Icing modifications.
Eclipse Aerospace will continue to provide factory authorized
initial, recurrent, and differences in-flight training until the
simulators are installed and operational in Orlando, following
which SimCom will be the exclusive source and provider of factory
authorized training for Eclipse in North, Central and South
America.
"This new relationship enables Eclipse to offer its existing and
future operators the opportunity to receive professional
simulator-based training. SimCom looks forward to providing its
signature, personalized service to the owners and operators who
represent an important segment of the business aviation market,"
said Wally David, President and Chief Executive Officer of
SimCom.
"The successful safety record of the
Eclipse aircraft is built largely around the extensive pilot
training program Eclipse requires for an aircraft type rating and
recurrency. The excellent SimCom simulator-based training programs
for the Eclipse 500 will build upon our in-flight programs.
Together we will provide an unparalleled training program to lead
the general aviation industry in training safe and qualified jet
pilots," said Mason Holland, Chairman and President of Eclipse
Aerospace, Inc.
