Aircraft Glass Cockpit Trainer

The Aircraft Glass Cockpit Trainer is a complete and fully functional simulation of a typical aircraft cockpit. It includes essential flight, engine, autopilot and pitot-static instruments and is designed to teach trainees the operation of a glass cockpit panel.

The trainer models a modern integrated glass cockpit system and is suitable for avionics technician and pilot training. All functions of the panel are available for practical operation and demonstration.

The system includes dual PFD/MFD displays, switch and audio panels, standby gauges, throttle and mixture controls, engine start key, dual-control yokes, dual rudder and brake mechanisms and adjustable pilot seats. The cockpit structure provides access to electronic parts and the computer for servicing.

The trainer incorporates flight director, autopilot, navigation, flight planning, terminal procedures, navigation database, engine status, map functions and other cockpit features for comprehensive practical training.

Designed and manufactured by Atico Export to meet the practical requirements of modern technical education laboratories.
