the atfs-400™ "phoenix"

The ATFS-400™ "Phoenix" Sustained – G Centrifuge Motion Platform is the highest performance flight training system currently available. The ATFS-400™ "Phoenix" features plug-in-play technology with its various interchangeable, high-fidelity cockpit modules and aircraft aeromodels, Coupled with its rapid onset rate (10G per second) and sustained G force capability, the ATFS-400™ "Phoenix" provides an authentic and compellingly realistic flight training environment with total aircraft maneuvering capability. The ATFS-400™ "Phoenix" acts as a natural tool in high-G tactical flight training, launch and reentry space training, and research testing.


space training simuator (sts-400)

The Space Training Simulator (STS-400) creates an authentic space flight experience complete with satellite imagery visuals and dynamic G forces on launch and reentry. The STS-400 uses the same flight training motion-based technology of the ATFS-400™ "Phoenix" to accurately flight test and fly suborbital and orbital spacecraft missions. With interchangeable cockpit and passenger seat modules, the STS-400 is an ideal platform for both pilots and passengers to master the unique challenges of the space launch environment. Because of the STS-400's advanced motion performance, it is the closest experience on Earth to an actual space flight.


gat-ii™ fixed wing general aviation trainer

The General Aviation Trainer (GAT-II) is a FAA approved Flight Training Device (FTD) level 2 that supports basic flight training, instrument training, and spatial disorientation training in one low cost, turn-key solution. The GAT-II has 3-axes motion capability with a single reciprocating engine, propeller driven flight model, realistic flight controls, and out-the-window display. Its portable design fits into an average size training room and features either fixed wing or helicopter configurations. The GAT-II supports aerospace pilot training and is a low cost way for pilots to satisfy some of their recurring instrument currency requirements. more on gat-ii


Features:


  • FAA Flight Training Device (FTD) level 2
  • Portable and fits into an average size training room
  • Axes electromechanical motion system
  • Selectable airports (USA)
  • Fixed wing or helicopter configurations

gat-ii™ helo rotary-wing trainer

The General Aviation Trainer (GAT-II) Helicopter (GAT-II™ Helo) is the economical pilot training solution as it combines affordable purchase price with low operation maintenance costs and capability for high utilization in a realistic flight environment. The GAT-II™ Helo provides the aerodynamics of helicopter flight in an enclosed cockpit with realistic flight controls, wide-field-of-view, and full 3 axis motion platform. With multiple interactive spatial disorientation training profiles, emergency procedure training, and mishap prevention training, the GAT-II™ Helo is the unequalled training solution for all helicopter training needs and specialty training requirements. more on gat-ii helo


Features:


  • Aerodynamics of helicopter flight
  • Emergency procedures
  • Partial panel and system failure
  • Mishap prevention training
  • Full instrument navigation training
  • Eight interactive and automated spatial disorientation training profiles
  • Closed cockpit with realistic flight instruments, flight controls and flight models
  • True wide-field-of-view visuals

gyrolab-2000™ advanced spatial disorientation trainer

The GYROLAB™ Advanced Spatial Disorientation Trainer (ASDT) is a state-of-the-art, interactive, centrifuge-based flight trainer that simulates the aircraft flight environment. The GYROLAB™ ASDT provides controlled, sustained G-stimulation with its planetary axis, and ±360 degree rotation in the yaw, pitch and roll axes. It features interactive learning profiles and closed-loop flight controls which allow trainees to practice loss of control recovery and spatial disorientation techniques. These capabilities make the GYROLAB™ ASDT a powerful tool for upset recovery training, situational awareness training, and motion sickness desensitization.

altitude (hypobaric and hyperbaric) chambers

The Hypobaric (Altitude) Chamber is a training tool used to instruct aircrews how to effectively handle hypoxia, hyperventilation, mechanical gas expansion and pressure breathing in high altitude environments and extreme situations. The Hypobaric Chamber is fitted to withstand a pressure altitude equivalent of up to 100,000 ft with variable ascent and decent rates. It holds 6 to 20 student stations with consoles, video monitoring, and intercom cord sets for full communication and medical monitoring of trainees. The Hypobaric Chamber also supports a wide latitude of operation for research and controlled experimentation studies. more on altitude chambers


applications of altitude chambers

Applications extend to high altitude physiological problems in hypoxia, hyperventilation, mechanical effects of trapped gas, gas evolution out of solution and stress interactions. This chamber has the ca¬pability to educate and demonstrate the problems associated with rapid decompression (with and without protective equipment), the prevention of hyperventilation, and pressure breathing problems. In addition to training applications associated with ETC's Hypobaric / Altitude Chamber, it also provides a wide latitude of operation that supports research and controlled experimentation.

Features:


  • From 6 to 20 student stations with consoles
  • intercom cord sets
  • oxygen pressure gauges
  • oxygen on/off controls
  • pressure altitude equivalent of up to 100,000 ft
  • variable ascent and descent rates
  • customizable vacuum system size

ejection seat trainer

The Ejection Seat Trainer (EST) is a two-part trainer that promotes effective decision making and safe ejection procedure for aircrews. The EST utilizes a pneumatic catapult system that is fully adjustable from 1G to 7G's and can be calibrated for the monitoring of G onset rates and sustained G rates of aircrews. The EST's universal platform accepts any aircraft ejection seat and can be customized to simulate specific, customer-designated ejection systems. For maximum safety and training preparedness, the Ejection Seat Trainer is also equipped with a series of safety interlocks to ensure the trainee achieves proper body position and alignment before ejecting. more on ejection seat training


Features:


  • Catapult-type ejection seat
  • Adjustable G-force control from 1G to 7G's
  • Fire control activated by trainee
  • Seat sled with catapult mount and adjustable descent governors
  • Universal platform that accepts any ejection seat
  • Calibrated G-, mete, for monitoring G-onset and sustained G.

night vision and night vision goggle trainer

The Night Vision Training System (NVTS) is a turn-key system that combines academic, computer driven instruction with interactive visual demonstrations to optimize a pilots' ability to see at night without the use of night vision devices. For customers who routinely fly with night vision goggles, the Night Vision Goggle Training System (NVGTS) is a complete trainer that properly instructs trainees on the use and operation of their night vision goggles to effectively reduce common mishaps caused during nighttime flight conditions. Both NVTS and NVGTS systems include lighting effects demonstrations as well as auto kinesis and night scanning demonstrations. more on nvg

advanced disaster management simulator

The Advanced Disaster Management Simulator (ADMS) provides a virtual reality-based simulation system for training preparedness of incident command and vehicle operation first responders (police, fire rescue, ambulance, etc.) The ADMS system is a multi-level, multi-disciplinary trainer that includes three-dimensional virtual environments (city, airport, port, etc.) where trainees respond to emergency situations at ‘anytown USA' or highly specified locations (as per customers' request). Trainees respond in a “virtual threat, real sweat” environment where commands and actions are recorded for assessment to ensure maximum training retention.
