Analog & TAA (Glass) Cockpit Simulation

AVyation Labs provides on-location flight simulation services in our custom mobile learning lab - a 24' sim hangar on wheels to serve a range of needs such as maintaining proficiency in skills like communications, navigation, workflow, systems function, emergency response, and other crucial in-cockpit skills. 

We also provide educational flight simulation events for aviation enthusiasts who want to experience the wonder of flight from the safety of the ground. 

The glass and analog cockpit simulators are  high-end professional-grade simulation devices that replicate the look, feel, and function of today's technologically advanced aircraft avionics suites and traditional steam gauge instrumentation for general aviation small SEL aircraft.  Built for the student pilot and the experienced pilot alike, the fully enclosed simulators provide a host of features that enhance the learning experience and improve retention of learned material.

Surround visuals and sound: 

Up front is a massive 49-inch Ultrawide monitor that fills your forward view. To the sides are window filling 32-inch screens that provide a peripheral reference for improved situational awareness outside the cockpit.

The 5.1 surround sound system provides another layer of immersion into the simulation. With environmental and ambient aircraft sounds coming through a 5 speaker sound system and communications coming through stereo aviation style headsets, the level of immersion into the simulation is multiplied. We can layer in other sounds such as live radio traffic communications from local and nearby airports to add yet another dimension into what you see and hear.

Haptic feedback and sensory effects:

Adding further layers into an already immersive training system, the force feedback controls and special effects  systems  give the user a  three dimensional experience that translates into  increased retention. Following the learning principle of intensity, including additional stressors and physical feedback allows for better retention of  and drives home the point of the lessons than is otherwise possible in a 2 dimensional training environment.

Integrated Instructor Station and Software:

Taking HID's (human interface devices) out of the cockpit adds a dimension of reality to the simulation experience. By putting the keyboard and mouse outside of the cockpit into a dedicated control station, once inside the cockpit the only thing more real is getting into an actual aircraft. When all the buttons, switches, and knobs correspond to the real physical layout of an airplane, retention and muscle memory is improved.
