I wanted to say thank you for the stunning 737 Max simulator we just received. From ordering, through finance through shipping and delivery, it was an amazing experience.
I bought a 737NG sim from FDS in 2006. At the time, it was way ahead of the competition and ahead of its time. In 2017 I started flying the 737 for real. I flew for three years, made Captain then instructed in a $13M sim in Miami another three years. I’ve spent a lot of time looking at this airplane.
What I have to tell you is this: the sim you just delivered was BETTER than the sim in Miami and actually better than the real thing. The feel of the switches and knobs—particularly Master Warning/Caution, FMS, etc..is clearly superior. It also seems more robust. Beyond that, you are beating your own previously high standards. I checked out the wiring harnesses behind the main instrument panel and was totally impressed, including the detailed labelling. It is as close to “plug-and-play” as you can get.
We hope to get the sim up and running soon. We aim to use it to create courseware to make it easier for people to transition into the 737 direct from general aviation. The airline industry may ebb and flow, but the challenge to make pilots is going to be with us for the foreseeable future. FDS is making a big contribution to meeting that challenge. Thanks again!

"What a great company with quality people and quality products!! I was very impressed with my experience with Flightdeck Solutions, from the first time I spoke with Peter through the installation process with Steve."

"When I began building my simulator, I purchased parts from many different vendors, evaluating quality and dimensional accuracy. Flight Deck Solutions is the ONLY one that had the quality I was looking for and the dimensional accuracy. You can LITERALLY remove a component from a real aircraft and it will fit PERFECTLY in a Flight Deck Solutions simulator. Their accuracy in modelling the look, feel, and operation of the real aircraft is second to none in the sim-building marketplace. Above ALL of that, these guys are really great to work with. I won't buy from anyone else."

From the initial email in quotes to the final product being built and setup what an amazing experience working with this company. Product is amazing and the staff is just as amazing. It was a fun experience and great relationships have been established. Should be 10 stars if you ask me."

Not only are the products incredibly detailed, accurate and superior quality, their service and reliability are second to none. I have built a full size 737-800NG with all Flightdeck solutions parts. Myself and my guests are still blown away each and every time we open up the cockpit door."
