Frasca will supply a TBM 930 Level 6 Flight Training Device (FTD) to SIMCOM Aviation Training. The FTD will be the first device to simulate the TBM 930 aircraft and will feature the actual aircraft cockpit, RSI XT4 Visual System with a 220 degree display system, actual Garmin G3000 avionics, Weather Radar, Synthetic Vision Terrain Awareness System and Traffic Advisory System. The FTD will be installed at SIMCOM’s Lee Vista Training Center in Orlando where it will allow SIMCOM instructors to provide pilot training in a highly realistic environment.
“We’re are very pleased to be collaborating with SIMCOM for their TBM 930 FTD. Frasca and SIMCOM are well known in the simulation and flight training industries and working together to provide the best FTD for this new aircraft is a rewarding project for both companies,” stated John Frasca, President, Frasca International, Inc. “SIMCOM has been the exclusive authorized training provider for Daher on the TBM program since 1999.”, said Eric Hinson, President and CEO, SIMCOM International. “By partnering with FRASCA, a leading provider of high fidelity flight training devices, SIMCOM will be able to provide highly realistic training on the latest version of the TBM.”
