TruFliteTM Takes Off!
Sales of Frasca International’s newest Flight Simulation
device, the "TruFliteTM" have taken off! Introduced less
than a year ago, the TruFlite, a reconfigurable flight training device using
Frasca’s latest Computer Generated Instrumentation, has been a big success
with flight schools worldwide. TruFlite devices have been ordered by: Airline
Transport Professionals, Inc. (ATP), the University of North Dakota (UND), TVI
Community College, McAir Aviation, Pan Am Academy and more. TruFlite
architecture has also been used in devices for the Finnish Aviation Academy,
Serco and several other customers.
Airline Transport Professions, Inc. (ATP) has placed an order
for ten Frasca Model 142/TruFliteTM devices. The units will be built
in a special configuration designed to meet ATP’s requirements and will
include Garmin 430 GPS, wide cockpits, dual flight controls and a single channel
visual system. ATP provides pilot training at more than 20 locations across the
country. UND has taken delivery of their three Frasca TruFliteTM
flight training devices at satellite campuses in Arizona, Washington and Hawaii.
The UND TruFliteTM devices are reconfigurable between Piper Warrior
and Piper Seminole aircraft and feature single channel projected TruVisionTM
visual systems. UND has also recently placed an order for a Frasca Seminole FTD.
TVI Community College, Albuquerque, NM, has placed an order for a Frasca TruFliteTM
device with KLN 94 GPS. The
device will be used by the Albuquerque Technical Vocation Institute as they
launch a new professional pilot and flight instruction program this month. McAir
Aviation has ordered a TruFlite with Frasca’s TruFeelTM control
loading system and circuit breakers, Garmin 430 GPS and TruVisionTM
170, Frasca’s visual display system with 170 degree field of view.
The Frasca TruFliteTM product line was developed
specifically to meet the requirements for JAA FNPT I and FNPT II devices in
Europe and throughout the world. The reconfigurable device is loaded with
features to enable flight training for both single and twin engine aircraft.
Using Frasca’s Computer Generated Instrumentation (CGI) and realistic overlays
with bezels, screws, glass and knobs, the Frasca TruFliteTM device
can be converted between a twin engine general aviation aircraft and a single
engine aircraft in minutes.
According to John Frasca, Vice President of Frasca
International, "The Frasca TruFliteTM devices incorporate our
newest technologies developed for Level 6 FTDs and Full Flight Simulators. This
technology has been repackaged to be cost effective for more mass produced
products – offering our customers high fidelity at an affordable price."
In the words of Frasca’s president, Rudy Frasca, "The Frasca TruFliteTM
is the right simulator at the right time."

training equipment for airlines, flight schools, Universities and military
