System fidelity, functionality and options are common across the entire product portfolio. This gives instructors easy-to-use devices with identical instructor station layouts and system behavior. Fidelity and reliability of the hardware are also unsurpassed, from the optional hardware components on the FPT to the full aircraft manufacturer-provided hardware kits used in the FFS. The visual system solution, including databases, is identical across the product range and increases in fidelity, from a flat screen on the FPT, to a full spherical 180 by 40 screen with direct projection on the FBS, to a full collimated visual of 200 by 40 degrees on the FFS. All weather selections, including instructor interfaces, are identical across the product portfolio as a result of the common software platform.

Sim-Industries equips the flight deck with a superb LCoS cross-cockpit outthe-window display system, providing wide-angle imagery of stunning clarity at optical infinity. LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) produces much higher resolution images than conventional CRT or LCD displays. The fine-grained pixels and excellent color quality create an ultra-realistic 3D sense of depth. The Sim-Industries LCoS display system requires little maintenance because, unlike bulky CRTs, its colors do not shift and it therefore does not require continuous adjustment.

MAINteNANCe ANd ServICe Low maintenance requirements reduce running costs Sim-Industries' smart design allows easy access to all parts of the simulator, including the motion and control loading systems and the I/O controller cabinet. The motion and control loading systems are highly modular and modules are easily interchangeable, resulting in minimal replacement time and spare parts stock. Installation, use and maintenance are easy and reduce running costs. Maintenance crews can quickly replace modules in the easily accessible I/O controller cabinet. Minimal stock, 24/7 support and maintenance training Sim-Industries uses original aircraft hardware components for most of the ight deck instrumentation and controls. Maintenance can therefore replace components with regular aircraft part stock when necessary. Sim-Industries offers 24/7 support with online monitoring at customer request and holds all spares in stock for replacement.

CertIfICAtIoN Sim-Industries strives for excellence, resulting in full flight simulators that meet and often exceed FAA and JAA as well as international requirements in all areas of flight simulation. Sim-Industries flight simulators are therefore delivered standard with certifications up to and including Level D JAA and FAA. Sim-Industries also offers any type of certification the customer wishes. Dutch JAA certification can be offered before shipment upon request. As an added benefit, Sim-Industries has developed the eQTG software tool. The Sim-Industries eQTG saves valuable time by automatically running all tests required by the certification authorities for flight simulator qualification and recertification. The layout matches the latest standards as published by Arinc and the RAeS.
