FNPT II
It is in the nature of an FNPT product that its complexity requires a detailed description of each system and subsystem. Therefore, Simcopter has written a functional description to provide customers a basic documentation for evaluation purposes.
functional description S723 FNPT II
The device replicates an AS350 Squirrel helicopter and has been qualified by the Swiss and English Civil Aviation Authorities under visual and instrument flight conditions as well as by the Australian and New Zealand Authorities.
The FNPT II is equipped with appropriate instrumentation and controls and a class specific flight model. The environment provides visual scenery with continuous time of day settings, airport lights, wind and cloud layers, visibility and an atmospheric model. The instructor station has an intuitive user interface with malfunctions page, map page and weather page.
The Trainer reduces the cost of the flight training considerably. Low hourly rates in the FNPT are a cost saving alternative to expensive flight hours. Costs are further reduced by an increased efficiency for a wide range of tasks such as autorotation reflexes, instrument manoeuvre training replacing time consuming real world repositioning or basic flying and hovering familiarisation.Features of the S723 FNPT II Helicopter:
