The Flightdeck Solutions Q400 FMS Desktop Training System is a cost-effective, high-fidelity training solution enabling your pilots to train virtually anywhere, anytime, on software that closely resembles the actual aircraft. Pilots can master the skills and build and maintain the knowledge required to more safely and efficiently operate the aircraft in today’s air traffic control environments.
It's much easier to form good habits when working with high fidelity hardware, which not only resembles but also feels like a genuine Q400 component. Training with realistic hardware allows pilots to build correct visual, procedural, and tactile memory, making the skills learned at their desk easily transferable to the aircraft flight deck.
A highly powerful, highly vital part of the modern flight deck, the FMS is also quite complex and often under utilized. Understanding how to quickly and accurately interpret all avionics information presented comes with practice and experience. Our Q400 FMS Desktop Training System enables pilots to enter a flight plan and performance data, and takes them through all phases of flight, including navigation, V-speeds and in-flight performance, engaging the flight director, autopilot functions and capturing approaches.
Give your pilots or cadets a training tool that truly mimics the equipment they will use while flying, while offering the convenience of jumping on anytime and focusing on exactly the competencies that need the most attention. Save simulator time for what it's really designed for - flying. Talk to us about a desktop solution for your training program or school curriculum.
