Simulator Manufacturer, Simnest, Launches New Simulator and Introduces itself to Asian Market

For Simnest Aviation, this year’s Asia Pacific Airline Training Symposium (APATS) marks a milestone for more than one reason. On one hand, it will be the first time that the simulator manufacturer – already well known in the European market – will be present in Asia, and on the other hand, Simnest Aviation will officially launch its brand-new product, the Simnest A320 AATD on the APATS.

However, Simnest Aviation is best known in the aviation industry for its high-fidelity Airbus A320 FNPT II APS MCC simulators, at APATS three Simnest products will be offered to the aviation professionals of Asia-Pacific region: the aforementioned flagship product the Simnest A320 FNPT II APS MCC, its upgraded version to the FTD level, and the new Simnest A320 AATD that will be officially launched to the public for the first time at APATS.

Simnest’s Advanced Aviation Training Device is a vivid resemblance of the Airbus A320 aircraft both in its design and behavior. It includes all the necessary hardware and software characteristics that their clients need to provide a qualitative systems and procedures training or to ease off the transition to Airbus A320 for non-type rated pilots.

Despite the abbreviation AATD in its name, core instruments are the same as in the Simnest’s flagship product A320 FNPT II APS MCC simulator, all its hardware are physical with tactile switches and what is more, the same software ensures its operation as well. Thanks to the mostly unchanged main elements, the cadets can experience the realistic behavior of the Airbus A320 in a high-fidelity environment.

There are four main differences between the A320 AATD and our flagship product the A320 FNPT II APS MCC simulator. The AATD version comes without an enclosed cockpit, the visual system contains either an ultra-wide or two smaller displays instead of the high-definition direct projection system and it is not equipped with OEM parts. On the other hand, the price is what distinguishes the A320 AATD from the A320 FNPT II MCC, which is a factor of paramount importance to owners and management.

More information on the above three Simnest products will be available from Simnest Aviation staff in person at APATS 2023, booth 207! Make sure to visit their booth, as they have arrived with a very special offer exclusively for APATS participants!

ASTi Announces Sale of Two Simulated Environment for Realistic ATC Systems to a World-Leading Provider of Aviation Training and Flight Simulators

ASTi is pleased to announce the recent sale of two Simulated Environment for Realistic ATC (SERA) systems to a world-leading provider of aviation training and flight simulators. This sale supports the first-ever use of a Simulated ATC Environment (SATCE) within a Multi-crew Pilot Licence (MPL) training program, achieving a vision first proposed by the ICAO for MPL in 2006.

The two SERA systems will be installed on 737NG Level D full-flight simulators (FFS) in the United States with additional SERA systems being added in the coming months. The end user is a major airline with extensive experience in the MPL training pipeline, which obtained sign-off from the national aviation authority for the use of SERA in the program.

MPL procedures put more emphasis on simulator training, including the use of simulated air traffic control (ATC). But, until now, no existing MPL program used SATCE in their flight simulator(s). ASTi believes that this new SERA contract award will lead to many more MPL training programs adopting SATCE. Interestingly, the airline involved with this award conducted a cost-benefit analysis for the use of SATCE technology, which indicated that SERA will result in direct cost savings and a smaller carbon footprint. The latter is due to a reduction in student flight time that until now was used specifically to provide exposure to ATC radio operations.

Flight crews can only be fully prepared to handle real-world threats by training with those same threats. And recent results from a Line Operations Safety Assessment (LOSA) carried out for a major European airline identified ATC as the primary threat for operational safety. This is why bringing ATC experience to the MPL students from day one with SERA provides greater proficiency and radio competency. Training with SERA minimizes the flight line “shock” often experienced by new students facing their first ATC calls at a busy training airfield, all in the safe environment of the flight simulator.

About MPL

According to the ICAO, the MPL “allows a pilot to exercise the privileges of a co-pilot in a commercial air transportation on multi-crew aeroplanes. It provides the aviation community with an opportunity to train pilots directly for co-pilot duties… The licence focuses on ab initio airline pilot training. MPL training and assessment will be competency-based and involve a multi-crew environment and threat and error management from the onset. It provides for greater use of flight simulation training devices and includes mandatory upset training.”

About SERA

SERA, ASTi’s leading simulated air traffic control environment (SATCE) system, fully complies with the latest industry requirements for SATCE solutions. This innovative technology eliminates the need for an instructor to role-play air traffic control, ensuring consistent phraseology for ATC and all other traffic radio calls.

About ASTi

ASTi is the leading supplier of communications, automated ATC and sound systems to the training and simulation industry. ASTi meets FAA, EASA and equivalent Level D qualifications with simulators around the world. Since 1989, ASTi has fielded over 11,000 systems at more than 800 installation sites in the U.S. and 49 other countries.
