 History

Aerosim's history is rich with innovation and advancing technology. The company started with a mission to fill the link between Computer Based Training and Full Flight Simulators by designing a new kind of PC-based simulation trainer, equipped with full free-play functions and realistic cockpit environments. Today Aerosim continues to build on that same technology to deliver state of the art training solutions including the Enhanced Virtual Procedure Trainer and advanced courseware designed to meet the challenges of today's drive toward distance learning.

     2008

 

In 2008, the Enhanced Virtual Procedure Trainer™ entered the market.  Based on Aerosim's already proven flat panel trainer technology, the Enhanced VPT™ immerses trainees into a more realistic aircraft like environment than any other trainer of it's type.

 
           
       
  2007
    

Custom courseware for Air Transport customers hit the market in 2007. The first program developed is full systems courseware for the Boeing 757.  The software is desinged such that it can be delivered in a computer lab, or via distance learning. 
       
       
  2006
 

2006 brought the introduction of a complete new range of General Aviation aircraft training devices.  This year Aerosim introduced it's first Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) and it's first FAA Level 5 FTD both devices modeled after the Cirrus SR22 aircraft. The AATD was also built for the Cessna 172.  The desktop compliment to the Cirrus based devices, the Avionics System Trainer™, also entered the market this year.
       
       
  2004
   

Aerosim entered the courseware market with the launch of JetPac in 2004.  The program was built using Aerosim's Lesson Plan Editor to create a series of guided lessons, complete with evaluation, remediation, practice scenarios and testing.

This year also marked the beginning of a long standing relationship with Honeywell to produce PC-Primus Epic, desktop training software for Primus Epic FMS systems.
       
       
  2003
    Looking beyond the Air Transport market, 2003 marked the launch of a series of FMS training products designed to meet the needs of the end-user pilot market, Aerosim's line of FMS Lite trainers.  These trainers were designed with the same high-fidelity simulation as the rest of Aerosim's software with a focus on the features that an individual pilot needs for personal learning.
       
       
  2002
    2002 Aerosim takes it's first steps into the world of distance learning by enabling remote download to pilot's home computers.
       
       
  2001
    2001 marked the introduction of Aerosim's Virtual Procedure Trainer™ (VPT™). This moved Aerosim's proven technology from the desktop to a 3-dimensional environment.  The design of the trainer was flexible enough to handle multiple aircraft types on a single frame, with only seconds to swithch between types.
       
       
  2000
    In 2000, Aerosim along with partner Mechtronix Systems announced the Integrated Training Architecture™. The Integrated Training Architecture™ (ITA™) products share the same software source as free-play objects creating standardization, consistency and seamless training for our customers. Today the ITA™ covers products ranging from desktop FMS trainers all the way up to FAA Level D Full Flight Simulators.
       
       
  1998
    1998 brought the introduction of Aerosim's Virtual Flight Deck™ (VFD™). Making it's debut for the Boeing 737-700, the VFD expanded training capability from the Flight Management System to the full Flight Deck including systems. All of this on a user friendly desktop platform ideal for presentation in the classroom as well as implementation in the computer lab.
       
       
  1995
    Recognizing the need for low cost and high performance Flight Management System Trainers (FMST's), Aerosim dedicated eighteen months of research to producing an affordable true free play FMST. Aerosim filled the missing link between traditional Computer Based Training and Full Flight Simulators by designing a new kind of PC-based simulation trainer, equipped with full free-play functions and realistic cockpit environments. The finished product surpassed all others in the market in terms of functionality and performance and continues to do so today.
       
       
  1993
    Aerosim Technologies was founded in 1993 by a team of engineers with a vision that aviation training should be realistic, state of the art, and provide an enjoyable learning experience. Each team member provided comprehensive knowledge of a broad range of flight simulation, including aerodynamics, avionics, navigation, engines, flight controls and aircraft systems. In addition, the computer programmers possessed valuable skills in design of instructor interface, courseware, and Computer Aided Training. Armed with their knowledge and experience, the Aerosim Team focused on a single goal: to provide state-of-the-art flight training devices for the commercial and military airline industry worldwide.
