Sim Is Customized To Company's Systems And Training
Curriculum
Toronto Airways of Toronto, Canada
has purchased a full motion King Air C90 flight simulation device
from Fidelity Flight Simulation of Pittsburgh, PA. The Fidelity
simulator will be highly type specific to the King Air C90, and
include aircraft systems and instructor operations customized for
Toronto Airways' training curriculum. The King Air C90 simulator is
the second simulation device purchased by Toronto Airways from
Fidelity Flight Simulation in its program to train Chinese flight
students, although Toronto Airways intends to offer King Air
training for other pilots throughout a wide area in Canada and the
United States.
The Fidelity C90 simulation will be reconfigurable between
standard instruments and the Bendix King EFIS 40 Electronic
Attitude Deviation Indicator and Horizontal Situation Indicator.
Dual WAAS-enabled Garmin 530 GPS units will be installed, along
with a replica Goodrich TCAS 791 traffic collision and avoidance
system and Collins WXR 840 weather radar. Electric dynamic control
loading will accurately replicate flight control feedback depending
on the aerodynamic profile, and the external visual display
includes a customized Canadian topographical and airport
database.
The simulator will be approved by
Transport Canada at FTD Level 5. Transport Canada FTD Level 5
supports the growing trend towards the Multi-Pilot's License (MPL)
and is part of Toronto Airway's efforts to achieve Transport Canada
"Approved Training Organization" (ATO) status. Under ATO Transport
Canada would allow flight schools to adopt a performance-based
training curriculum driven by desired outcomes, as opposed to
specifying training methods and practices.
"It's great to be working on the C90 simulator with Toronto
Airways, " said Mark Limbach, Director of Business Development for
Fidelity Flight Simulation. "Toronto Airways is building a strong
reputation for training their Chinese students. We understand our
Cessna 172 training device is being used 16 hours per day, and the
C90 simulator should be just as valuable in the turbine transition
part of its program."
