Why Choose AATD Over FTD Level 5?
If your primary goals include affordability, flexibility, and compliance for general aviation training, an AATD is often the preferred choice. However, if your program requires detailed, aircraft-specific training with higher regulatory allowances, an FTD Level 5 may be worth the additional investment.
But this is not the case with our AATD; we like to call ours Enhanced EATD, which easily meets or exceeds FTD qualification.
Benefits of the AATD Over FTD Level 5
- Our Enhanced AATD provides fidelity and functionality on par with or surpassing FTD Level 5 devices, ensuring high-quality training outcomes.
- While offering capabilities that meet or exceed FTD standards, the Enhanced ATD retains the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of an AATD.
- Training centers can achieve the same or better training results at a lower price point compared to traditional FTD Level 5 devices.
- Ours simulate type-specific aircraft types or scenarios, adding versatility to training programs. Our design incorporates cutting-edge technology that minimizes complexity while maximizing training utility.
- Our AATD size and ease of installation make it an excellent choice for operations where space and infrastructure are limited, yet it still delivers exceptional training fidelity.
- Advanced visual systems, enhanced control loading, or high-resolution simulation databases further distinguish our AATD
Streamlined Certification Process:
- The Enhanced EATD undergoes a less cumbersome certification process compared to FTD Level 5 devices, saving time and effort during implementation.
Portable Certification:
- Unlike FTDs, the AATD’s certification travels with the simulator, allowing it to be relocated without requiring re-certification. This provides unmatched flexibility for training providers who operate across multiple locations or plan to expand.
