Frasca International has launched a new line of flight training products, dubbed the Frasca TruFlite^TM. The Frasca TruFlite^TM 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 TruFlite^TM device can be converted between a twin engine general aviation aircraft and a single engine aircraft in minutes.

The Frasca TruFlite^TM comes standard with a single set of flight controls with an option for dual controls, multi to single engine conversion kit, Graphical Instructor Station (GISt), a new lower profile shell and much more. Customers can choose several options to customize their Frasca TruFlite^TM. These include; Garmin 430 GPS, Digital audio and sound, Frasca’s TruVision^TM textured visual system with 170 or 220 degree wrap around display, custom visual databases, and their choice of aircraft flight models.

The new device was given the name "TruFlite^TM" as a testimonial to Frasca’s 45 years of simulation experience coupled with the company’s commitment to developing high fidelity products. One of Frasca’s earliest devices was originally called "TruFlite" forty years ago after a customer declared "it really does fly just like the airplane… you should call it the TruFlite"! Frasca resurrected the name but the technology is all new. According to John Frasca, Vice President of Frasca International, "The Frasca TruFlite^TM 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 TruFlite^TM is the right simulator at the right time."

A Frasca TruFlite^TM will be available to test fly in the UK and at the Frasca facility in Urbana, IL USA. Interested parties may arrange for a demonstration by calling the sales department at Frasca International at: (217) 344-9200.

Frasca has also chosen TruVision^TM as the family name for its line of visual systems. Frasca TruVision^TM systems are available in single and multi-channel configurations providing up to a 220-degree field of view. Other products include; "TruSound^TM", Frasca’s digital sound system, "TruFeel^TM" Frasca’s Control Loading Systems and "TruScore^TM" Frasca’s virtual scoring module available with GISt, Frasca’s Graphical Instructor Station. Frasca TruScore^TM can be used for pilot selection and scoring. As the names imply, these devices and sub-systems offer incredibly realistic sound, feel and vision in the flight training experience.
