Internet platform for Aircraft offers category for Flight Simulators

Since December 2010, the aircraft selling platform Jet Scout/ Aircraft Scout/ Flugzeug Scout is also offering a category for Flight Simulators. There are quite some platforms available for aircraft sales on the internet. Yet, Flight Simulators did not have a real professional sales platform. Now, by the end of this year there are newly manufactured and used devices available on the internet platform Jet Scout/ Aircraft Scout/ Flugzeug Scout to provide professional & affordable training solutions for flight school & thus for professional airline pilot training.

Why Flight Simulators or FSTDs (Flight Simulation Training Devices) are beneficial...

Nowadays, “Flight Simulation Training Devices” or simply called “Flight Simulators” are a not-to-neglect training option within flight training and education in the commercial aviation business.

- Normal and abnormal procedures of flight operation can be trained without putting the crew and aircraft at risk.

- Particular training scenarios can be trained over and over again without timeloss due to quick-repositioning functions and computer controlled attitude presets as well as not being distracted by radio communication, traffic or other sources during daily flight operation.

- A simulator can be used 24/7 and is weather independent as it is a facilitated training device.

- Training can be conducted cost-efficiently. FTDs save aircraft fuel and maintenance hours and run cheaply on electricity.

- If an aircraftof a particular type has been ordered and Flight Simulators are already in place, the “aircraft” can be flown and trained on before even the first real aircraft is delivered!

- Training Devices of lower levels such as FTDs Level 5 and 6 can be purchased at very low prices compared to Full Flight Simulators, whereas their level of technology and flight modelling already can be very close to each other.

- Last but not least, lower occupation of airspace and slots for training on real aircraft as well as saving fuel, thus reducing CO2 and pollution are further benefits, which support FTDs as the training method for the future.

Because of the low maintenance and operating costs of such devices in comparison with any aircraft, FSTDs are the perfect addition to pilot flight training. As the need for well-trained pilots will increase over the next decades, flight training becomes more and more important. The record-breaking innovations in the simulation technology, simulators are definitely the future!
