one-G simulation has delivered a Swiss12 Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) to Air Bravo Corp. at its facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario, marking the flight simulator manufacturer’s entry into the Canadian market.
Air Bravo operates Pilatus PC-12 single-engine turboprops for commercial aviation operations in Ontario. According to company officials, the on-site training device matches the carrier’s aircraft configurations and avionics, allowing flight crews to train on normal procedures, systems management, and emergency scenarios subject to Transport Canada requirements. Air Bravo has also placed an order for a second custom device modeled on the Cessna 408 SkyCourier.
The Swiss12 platform, which received its initial FAA Letter of Authorization in 2017, features dual aerodynamically driven force-feedback yokes, linked rudder pedals with toe brakes, an operational overhead panel, a Crew Alerting and Warning System (CAWS), and a curved-screen visual projection display. Instructors manage flight environments and system failures through the company’s proprietary operator station.
“Having a PC-12 training device at our own facility gives our pilots an opportunity to practice aircraft-specific procedures and reinforce their proficiency closer to home,” said Rick Horwath, president of Air Bravo. “We appreciate one-G’s attention to the details of the aircraft and its responsiveness to our feedback throughout the development process.”
