The Cirrus Avionics Systems Trainer™ (AST) is a PC-based training device designed for full avionics systems learning, using guided lessons integrated with simulation to create a fully interactive training environment.
The AST combines interactive courseware with simulations to introduce the glass cockpit to SR20/SR22 pilots in a fully interactive training environment. A series of guided lessons combined with practice scenarios brings pilots to a level of demonstrated proficiency with the aircraft’s avionics. Courseware includes:
• Cockpit Overview • Single Pilot Resource Management • Systems Training for PFD, MFD, GPS, Autopilot, Transponder and Audio • Malfunctions Training • Training Flight Scenarios • Evaluation Flight Scenarios • Free-play Flights
Because the trainer is a true free-play device, a variety of training scenarios and flight plans can be followed. This free-play element allows pilots to practice the entire flight cycle, with user inputs producing the same real-time feedback as in the actual aircraft.
