SimCom’s MU-2 sims upgraded

By Janice Wood · August 31, 2009 ·

SimCom Training Centers has installed new, high resolution visual systems on its two MU-2 simulators.

The enhanced visual imagery is equivalent to that used on Level D simulators for business jets and commercial airlines, according to officials with the Orlando-based company. Selected airports have been modeled with detailed features that accurately represent the real operating area. Both Denver and Aspen, Colo., airports are included for training in a challenging mountainous environment. Converging traffic on the ground and while airborne offers operators the opportunity to train for conflict recognition and avoidance.

Four specialized courses are offered including: Initial, Requalification, Recurrent and Maintenance. Courses are FAA-approved and are SFAR compliant.
