FAQ

The C172 Skyhawk JT-A meets the FAA AATD requirements.

The C172 comes equipped with everything you need. Nevertheless, you can add OEM devices, an enclosed shell, a curved visual system, instructor cabin, and many other options.

We are happy to provide you with visual systems ranging from one monitor to a complete surround visual system with three projectors.

We dispatch our technicians for an onsite installation & training on how to operate the device.

The device is very easy to operate and reconfigure. Nevertheless to be eligible for FAA/EASA credits, the device must be operated by an FAA/EASA approved Instructor.

This device is very popular with home users, universities, and flight schools that do not log hours. It can also be certified by other authorities, such as CASA in Australia. Ask your sales agent for more information.
