POWERFUL TRAINING TOOL

ELITE Basic ATDs give pilots a mental edge by providing a safe training environment that is conducive to learning, practicing, and understanding instrument procedures. Unfortunately, an actual aircraft cockpit usually does not provide such an environment and indeed can be quite overwhelming for newer instrument students. Often, these students in the early phases of their training never really develop the proper instrument thinking skills to gain and maintain proficiency. Although able to replicate what they have been taught, many students don't feel the confidence or accomplishment that can only come from true understanding. The ELITE Basic ATD platform is a powerful training tool that helps students practice their instrument thinking skills, i.e. visualizing procedures, situational awareness, scan technique, etc., before getting in the aircraft. Equipped with the training experience from the ELITE Basic ATD, students then take to the air better prepared to perform what they have learned.

AFFORDABLE

Basic ATDs have literally revolutionized IFR flight simulation training as we know it. Just a few years ago, acquiring a quality IFR flight simulation training device was a dream for all but the largest flight schools or FBOs. Smaller schools simply did not have the resources necessary to cover initial cost and recurrent maintenance on devices often costing several thousand, and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars. Basic ATD technology has changed all that by making high quality, affordable, IFR flight simulation accessible to those that might have never had the opportunity to experience its benefits. In addition, besides being a tremendous asset to instrument students and pilots alike, these revenue-producing systems provide excellent return on investment in a short time.
