POWERFUL TRAINING TOOL

ELITE Basic ATDs give pilots a mental edge by providing a safe training environment conducive to learning, practising and understanding instrument procedures. An actual aircraft cockpit does not usually provide such an environment. Indeed, it can be quite overwhelming for new instrument flight students who, in the early phases of training, often fail to develop proper instrument thinking skills to gain and maintain proficiency. Although able to replicate what they have been taught, many students don't have the confidence or the skills that flow from true understanding. The ELITE Basic ATD platform is a powerful training tool that helps students practice instrument thinking skills such as visualising procedures, situational awareness and scan techniques before getting into the aircraft. Equipped with the training experience from the ELITE Basic ATD, students take to the air better prepared to perform what they have learned.

AFFORDABLE

Basic ATDs have revolutionised IFR flight simulation training. Just a few years ago, acquiring a quality IFR flight simulation training device was a dream for all but the largest flight schools.
Smaller schools couldn’t cover the initial cost and recurrent maintenance on devices often costing several thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Basic ATD technology has changed all that by making high quality, affordable, IFR flight simulation accessible to those who may never have had the chance to experience its benefits. Besides being a tremendous asset to instrument students and pilots alike, these revenue-producing systems provide flight schools with an excellent return on investment, in a short time.

This is ELITE’S most affordable, full procedures system! Built around the ELITE Pro Panel II Flight Console, the PI-135 can be used for complete start up, flight, and shut down procedures and is recommended for instructors, flight schools and universities wanting complete procedural training capabilities at a moderate cost. It is 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, making it a good choice for flight schools wanting to closely monitor simulator usage.
