Held from 17–18 September 2013 at the Centara Grand Convention Centre in Bangkok, Thailand, APATS is Asia’s biggest gathering of aviation training professionals. projectiondesign is sharing a stand with RSI Visual Systems, which provides image generators and display solutions for flight-training environments, and with Quadrant Simulation Systems, Inc., which offers a full range of flight simulation and training products & services, including the Nuqleus interface unit – a device that enables rapid image generator to simulator host computer integration including a plug and play touchscreen instructor panel providing instant control of all visual features.
projectiondesign’s F35 wqxga DLP® projectors, with RSI Visual Systems focusing on its new Atlanta Airport database with content showing takeoff, circling, landing and other standard training scenarios are shown at the conference, with Quadrant’s Nuqleus unit touchscreen providing visual system feature controls. Also on display is the FL35 projector, which uses a solid-state light source to reduce cost of ownership.
Asian Aviation Training Centre Full Flight Simulators
RSI Visual Systems has recently provided L-3 Link Simulation & Training (L-3 Link) with an XT4 Visual System featuring FL35 projectors for installation and upgrade on its full flight simulators at the company’s Asian Aviation Training Centre (AATC). The projection upgrade has been made on the AATC’s ATR 42/72 Full Flight Simulator (FFS), as well as a new installation on its A330 FFS. Each of the simulators is integrated with the FL35 projector and RSI Visual Systems’ XT4 image generators.
“We are delighted that the Asian Aviation Training Centre again chose projectiondesign’s FL35 ReaLED projectors for their new upgrades. The superior picture quality, low cost of ownership and image stability further enhance the overall training experience for the pilots, as well as offering improved operation up-time and drastically reduced maintenance costs for the training centre,” said Hakon Andersen, Director of Global Simulation at Barco.
Founded in 1996, AATC is a provider of pilot, maintenance, and pushback and tow training. The centre is conveniently located near Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Thailand. L-3 Link’s ATR42/72 and A320 simulators are certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), as well as many other National Regulatory Authorities. L-3 Link’s recently installed A330 FFS and A320/A330 APT have now gained EASA Level D and FTD 1 certifications.
