All about advanced flight training devices and techniques!

The three types of simulators include Aviation training device, Fixed Base and Full Base simulators. These levels have different grades of certification, and the names determine the level of certification and the difficulty level of the design. 

Aviation Training Device

There are Basic and Advanced Aviation training device (ATD). These are a set of computers, which is a replica of the aircraft instruments, equipment panels, and controls of an open flight deck or the cockpit.The Basic ATD is a platform for procedural and operational training appropriate for pilot time and instruments. The Advanced ATD trains pilots on ground and flight tasks and procedures. The certifications are called FAA with two different modes, namely: A and B.


Fixed Base Simulators

Fixed Base simulators has an open cockpit including all control panels, interior linings, out shell, and flight controls equipped with visuals and sounds operated by the instructor.These simulators provide a professional flight training. The FAA recognizes 4 levels, namely: 4,5,6 and 7. Level 4 and 7 is for helicopter simulators. The EASA recognizes 3 levels, namely: 1,2 and 3. Level 3 is for helicopters only. These simulators are used for training the copilot and captain to work together and use the microphones. 

Full Flight Simulators

Full Flight Simulator is the highest level of training device. There are totally four levels of certification for FAA as well as EASA which are A, B, C and D with different requirements. This is the last step before the pilot gets to sit in a real aircraft as well as being used for the recurrent training for pilots. Training focuses on malfunctions, bad weather, uncommon procedures and many more things that cannot be tried in the real aircraft with passengers.

There is an increase in the use of aircraft simulator to produce an exact environment to give the learning pilot a real flying experience. The simulators help provide basic as well as advanced training and enhancing the skills of the pilots. Some of the Different types of flight simulators are: ·          Aviation Training Device The aviation training device provides pilots with an opportunity to learn and sharpen the basic skills of flying. With the advanced aviation training device (AATD), the pilots get a platform to learn both the procedural as well as operational tasks related to flight training. ·          Full System Simulators Full flight simulators are the most advanced flight simulator. This simulator replicates every aspect of a real aircraft. With the use of visual systems, the environment of aircraft is also duplicated to give the pilots a real experience. ·          Flight Training Device Flight training device is an advanced form of flight simulator. The

Manufacturing of flight simulators A process of making goods by involving components, raw materials on a large scale with operations divided among various workers in different fields is manufacturing. The goods which are produced are the manufactured product by a particular company who are the manufacturers. The goods are later given to the consumer through various means.  How flight simulators work? Flight simulators work on the basics laws of physics. Most of the games nowadays use this but simulators take this even more seriously as they want to give the players a very realistic experience of being a pilot in a wide variety of aircrafts without buying a plane or paying for flying lessons. Flying simulators involve aerodynamics and generally are a real aircraft's weight.  How flight control works?  Flight controls is around 3 axes of space. They are called as pitch. When the pilot moves his side stick, which depends on the aircraft, the hydraulic fluid
