ATP Flight School has announced the purchase of 20 Flight\nSimulators, specifically Advanced Aircraft Training Devices (AATDs), from\nFrasca Flight Simulation. Carrying a list price of six million dollars, the\nFAA-approved AATDs will be used exclusively in ATP’s Airline Career Pilot\nProgram to train the next generation of airline pilots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ATP pioneered accelerated airline pilot training in 1984\nand, since then, has continued investing in new technology to lead industry\nperformance and provide efficient training that develops professional airline\npilots. The purchase of 20 simulators from Frasca represents the next evolution\nof that mission, as ATP expands its fleet of simulators, making it possible to\nintroduce students to foundational skills in a safe and controlled environment.\nThis airline-oriented approach increases proficiency and maximizes the time\nspent learning in the aircraft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each device features an accurate physical representation of\neither a Piper Archer or Cessna Skyhawk flight deck, with 220\u00c2\u00b0 wrap-around\nvisuals surrounding the student. Inside, actual Garmin G1000 avionics mirror\nthe identically equipped Archers and Skyhawks in ATP’s fleet, including the\n40-plus new aircraft ATP has on order. Active control loading is paired with\nmodeled flight data to replicate the aerodynamics and control feedback of the\nactual aircraft. This industry-leading fidelity and realism allow for a more\nimpactful transfer of learning and skill from the simulator to the airplane,\nincreasing the effectiveness of training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Key to providing the most efficient path to a\nsuccessful airline pilot career is investing in new technologies and resources\nthat allow ATP students to train more effectively and safely,” said\nMichael Arnold, Director of Marketing, ATP Flight School. “Investing in\nthese state-of-art AATDs increases safety during the initial stages of training\nand will allow students to gain proficiency in fundamental skills on the ground\nto maximize their time in the air.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Frasca and ATP have been partners for many years.\nThese 20 new Frasca FTD’s for the C172 and Archer will support ATP’s training programs\nwith the most technically advanced and realistic flight simulation available.\nThis will ensure a maximum transfer of learning and contribute to increased\nsafety,” stated John Frasca, President of Frasca International, Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ATP operates 450 aircraft and 130 simulators across 70\nlocations, including an existing fleet of Level 5 and 6 flight training\ndevices. Deliveries of the new Frasca simulators will begin at the end of the\nsecond quarter and continue through year-end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
