ELITE Basic ATDs give pilots a mental edge by providing a safe training environment that is conducive to learning, practicing, and understanding instrument procedures. Unfortunately, an actual aircraft cockpit usually does not provide such an environment and indeed can be quite overwhelming for newer instrument students. Often, these students in the early phases of their training never really develop the proper instrument thinking skills to gain and maintain proficiency. Although able to replicate what they have been taught, many students don't feel the confidence or accomplishment that can only come from true understanding. The ELITE Basic ATD platform is a powerful training tool that helps students practice their instrument thinking skills, i.e. visualizing procedures, situational awareness, scan technique, etc., before getting in the aircraft. Equipped with the training experience from the ELITE Basic ATD, students then take to the air better prepared to perform what they have learned.
CPU and monitor not included.
BASIC ATD Model PI-135 can be used as a loggable training device for the following:
- 2.5 hours Private
- 10 hours Instrument
- Recent Flight Experience (RFE) - Instrument
Built around the ELITE Pro Panel II Flight Console, the PI-135 can be used for complete startup, flight, and shutdown procedures. This system is recommended for instructors, flight schools, or universities that want complete procedural training capabilities in a moderate price range. Also great for introducing non-instrument students to basic aircraft operating procedures. The ELITE Pro Panel is equipped with a Hobbs meter and panel ON/OFF key lock which make it a good choice for flight schools that want to closely monitor sim use time.
