The Flat Panel Trainer (AX-T) is a flexible and efficient platform for cockpit procedure and system training. This flight training device is most often used at the beginning of type rating to help trainees build a solid understanding of the aircraft’s systems and workflow in self-study mode. With no need for motion or large-scale visuals, it delivers maximum training impact within a compact footprint.
Despite its size, the FPT runs the complete aircraft simulation engine. This includes the full system logic, specific aerodynamic models, and accurate operational behavior, just like a Full Flight Simulator. All core components are functional, including displays and parts of the avionics, such as CDU, EFIS, PFD, ND and more. It’s not a full cockpit environment and does not provide near-full flight simulator level training, but it’s a very cost-effective way to prepare students before they move on to a full flight trainer.
Each FPT is tailored to the customer’s needs. Physical panels are selected based on training goals, and modular configurations allow switching between aircraft types. The device includes a fully capable Instructor Operating Station (IOS), and training can be done either with an instructor or self-paced. It’s designed to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of training programs.
Used for more advanced scenarios like jet orientation and multi-crew cooperation, these devices are built for high specificity to aircraft type and operational detail.
With collimated visuals, sound, and active forces, the Full Flight Trainer replicates the cockpit environment to near full-simulator level – excluding takeoff and landing capability.
Includes a fully functional IOS with the same capabilities as in the FFS, enabling full control over training scenarios.
