FTS Joint Chief Executive Officer Carl Suttle, with a passion for accuracy and understanding with exceptional skill as a “Simulation Engineer”, recently explained the requirements of a scientifically-based visual simulation that can be used as an effective tool in gaining proficiency in landings.

Just because you can fly an Avidyne Integra-equipped Cirrus doesn't mean you can jump into a Perspective (a.k.a. Garmin G1000) Cirrus. Or, for that matter, even an old

Using TouchTrainer Flight Simulator as a new approach to maintain IFR currency and proficiency.

In May, a program founded by Chuck Gensler and others at Independence Aviation at Centennial Airport (APA), Denver, Colorado, will offer Cirrus pilots continuous monthly training. The customer gets 20 hours of flight instructor time, seminars on timely topics such as maintenance, and use of the school's Frasca and FlyThisSim TouchTrainer simulators.

The company said its TouchTrainers are already FAA-approved and it is working to gain additional local approvals from aviation authorities in Europe, Canada, and Australia. Suttle cautioned, however, that the overseas approval process may take some time.

FlyThisSim, a company known for producing affordable touchscreen desktop simulators, is stepping up. The TouchTrainer FM (FM 210) is a high-fidelity skills trainer with a 210-degree panoramic visual system.

Flight Simulator company FlyThisSim has introduced here at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh its newest product, the TouchTrainer FM 210, a floor-mounted simulator featuring a 210-degree horizontal and 70-degree vertical field of vision.

There are two major players in the home simulator market: Redbird and FlyThisSim. Three Redbird products and two FlyThisSim products were compared in this article.
