Flight Training Devices (FTD)

Flight Training Devices (FTDs) are sophisticated simulators designed to mimic the cockpit environment and flight experience of an aircraft. They use advanced graphics, motion systems, and computer software to replicate different aircraft models and flight scenarios. FTDs are primarily used for pilot training and certification, offering a safe, cost-effective way to practice maneuvers, emergency procedures, and decision-making without actual aircraft. While they do not replicate the full range of systems found in full-motion simulators, FTDs provide realistic training for many essential flying skills.
