Mexican Air Charter Gets ELITE King Air AATD

ELITE Simulation Solutions announces the recent delivery of a Model iGate G602 Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) to Mexican air charter operator Aeronaves TSM.

The device is modeled after a Beechcraft King Air B200.

“We will be using the ELITE trainer for pilot IFR currency and for cockpit resource management (CRM) training,” remarked Ruben Rodriguez, Flight Instructor at Aeronaves. “I really like the cockpit enclosure and the control loading—these really add to the feel of flight. With the control loading, you can feel the control response change when you change airspeed or when you lose an engine. The realism of the switches, the radio tuning, and the headsets all add to the experience. The flight experience is very real. I’m very glad we chose ELITE. It is more than I expected. It’s amazing.”

The ELITE device allows the instructor to simulate cabin depressurization, engine fires, engine power loss and failure, hot and hung starts, and GPS RAIM failures, among many others.
