Virtual Flight Deck™ (VFD)

Product Overview

The Virtual Flight Deck™ (VFD) is is a full simulation of your aircraft’s specific flight deck brought to life on a PC. With the VFD, pilot and maintenance technician trainees can scan, view and operate all panels, controls, indicators and displays within the flight deck.

For Instructor-Led Training and Individual Self-Paced Learning

The VFD provides access to the entire flight deck using a single screen.  It allows real-time interaction with every system in a complete free-play training environment.  Trainees can master preflight checks, automated flight, takeoff, climb, cruise, as well as abnormal and emergency procedures. System simulations include electrics, fuel, hydraulics, pneumatics and more.  Each system is fully integrated in the flight deck and has complete interaction with other systems. Maintenance aspects of the software range from malfunctions and diagnostics to simulation of the avionics bay and external aircraft components. Active schematics are available for most aircraft types.
