To ensure positive\ntransfer of training, Frasca incorporated real Garmin G1000 NXi software in the\nRTD which provides realistic simulation and safe training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>G1000 NXi software also enables the Frasca RTD to include\nGarmin\u2019s newest features such as Synthetic Vision Technology with its\n3-dimensional \u201cpathway\u201d view, Terrain Awareness and Warning System, as well as\nWAAS (LPV, LNAV\/VNAV and Glide Paths) and easily updatable navigation\ndatabases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWorking with Garmin to integrate the G1000 NXi software in\nto our RTD has enabled us to provide an AATD with excellent transfer of\ntraining to our customers.\u201d Stated John Frasca, President of Frasca\nInternational. \u201cWe have been integrating Garmin avionics into our FTDs and FFSs\nfor years and being able to offer that in our lower cost products is truly\nground breaking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pricing for the Frasca RTD starts at $58,000, then varies\ndepending on aircraft configurations and options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frasca International, Inc. announced that they have partnered with Garmin to integrate Real Garmin G1000 NXi software into their new Frasca RTD\u2122 (Reconfigurable Training Device).&nbsp; This is a first in the simulation industry and required extensive collaboration between Frasca and Garmin to ensure that Frasca\u2019s simulation software and Garmin\u2019s G1000 NXi software operate in harmony.
