With large TV screens providing a simulated horizon, a six-axis\nmotion system gives visual and tactile feedback to occupants. In short, it\nperfectly imitates an actual flight in the world\u2019s most popular Light-Sport\nAircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even knowing the high state of technical sophistication in\ntheir Simulator, AeroJones did not initially realize what a successful product\nthey were creating with the CTLS Simulator. At the AirVenture Australia show at\nParkes Regional Airport, the AeroJones CTLS Simulator attracted crowds that\ngrew into long lines every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe had 70 people on the opening day, 80 on the second day,\nand more than 100 people on the third day. Despite limiting those sampling the\nCTLS Simulator to a few minutes per person, AeroJones staff and our Australian\ndealer, Michael Monck, were busy from opening to closing,\u201d said Charlie Chen,\nwho handles international business for AeroJones. Monck also serves as Chairman\nof Recreational Aviation Australia and is the developer of eLogger, an online\nmethod of logging pilot flight hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/AeroJones-Australia.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14366\" width=\"303\" height=\"165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/AeroJones-Australia.jpg 600w, https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/AeroJones-Australia-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 303px) 100vw, 303px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery day was busy, but the third day schedule was packed\nfull for 10 hours to accommodate all those interested by the CTLS Simulator\nAeroJones shipped to Australia for the event,\u201d added Chen. \u201cMore than 250\npeople took an opportunity to simulate a flight in our CTLS aircraft.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In its home country of China and in nearby Taiwan, AeroJones\nhas taken multiple orders for the CTLS Simulator to be used in universities and\nflight training operations. As the nation works to supply more pilots to its\nairlines, military, and for personal and business flying, innovative products\nlike the CTLS Simulator are helping to introduce Chinese students to light\naircraft. Since most have never seen such a flying machine, a CTLS Simulator\ncan provide a first-contact opportunity to millions of Chinese citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CTLS Simulator can be acquired for a modest price of about\nUSD 50,000 during the product\u2019s introductory phase. \u201cAt this price and given\nits high state of development, AeroJones CTLS Simulator is an excellent value,\u201d\nsaid Monck. Other full-motion cockpit simulators often cost far more than\nAeroJones\u2019 CTLS Simulator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SIMULATOR PLUS FULL AIRCRAFT AND A FLIGHT SCHOOL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the CTLS Simulator, AeroJones has also been\nbuilding the full-flying CTLS Light-Sport Aircraft in its Xiamen facility.\n\u201cApproval has been granted for both the design and manufacture of the aircraft\nby CAAC, the Civil Aviation Administration of China,\u201d said Mr. Hsieh Chi-Tai,\nGeneral Aviation Development Vice President for AeroJones Aviation. First\ndeveloped in Germany, AeroJones acquired all manufacturing and distribution\nrights in the Asia-Pacific region for the world\u2019s best-selling Light-Sport\nAircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As AeroJones prepares to expand its airplane manufacturing,\nthe Xiamen company is working with leaders of Zhenjiang, China to create a\nbrand new manufacturing facility near the Dalu General Airport. Work to build\nthe all-new factory will begin in late 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Already functioning in the new location is the AeroJones\nflight school operation at Dalu General Airport near Zhenjiang City.\n\u201cAeroJones\u2019 Zhenjiang flight school makes effective use of their 6-axis of\nmotion CTLS simulator, which was first shown to the public at the Zhuhai airshow\nin fall of 2018,\u201d said Michael Chou, who handles marketing for the Xiamen\ncompany. \u201cThe CTLS simulator has dual control joysticks and rudders so an\ninstructor can help a student learn the procedures and perform maneuvers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe market is growing for Chinese general aviation,\u201d said\nChou. \u201cThe combination of new factory, a professional flight school, and the\nfull-motion simulator are strong assets allowing AeroJones to provide the most\ncomplete light aircraft operation in China.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To better prepare pilots to fly the AeroJones Aviation Technology Co., Ltd., CTLS Light-Sport Aircraft currently manufactured in Xiamen, China, the company created a full-motion flight simulator.
