General Atomics AeroTec Systems GmbH (GA-ATS) in Oberpfaffenhofen announces that its Do228 flight simulator has received FTD Level 2 approval. This reflects the company’s continued success and commitment to the highest standards of training, as the simulator previously held FNPT II approval.

Do228 Flight Simulator: Realistic training for pilots

GA-ATS reports that the Do228 flight simulator is a fixed-based device that simulates the Do228 NG with the highest precision. The Do228 turboprop aircraft is used for both passenger and cargo flights and is manufactured at the Oberpfaffenhofen factory. The simulator realistically presents error and extreme scenarios and simulates global flights under all weather conditions. GA-ATS emphasizes that all flight characteristics including the control forces are authentically reproduced and the cockpit is designed down to the smallest detail.

High quality aviation safety training

GA-ATS emphasizes the importance of regular, high-quality aviation safety training opportunities. The managing director, Erik Bollen, explains that the company wants to continuously expand the training offering. The aim is to offer customers first-class in-house training directly from the manufacturer, which ensures that all content is state-of-the-art.

Train critical scenarios safely

GA-ATS describes that simulator training is essential to prepare pilots for emergencies. Scenarios such as an engine failure after takeoff can only be adequately practiced in a simulator. In this safe environment, pilots learn to react to extreme situations, which enables quick and correct decisions in an emergency. This training is considered crucial to increasing flight safety.

Comprehensive training offering

GA-ATS reports that the company’s accredited flight school, along with experienced flight instructors, offers tailored training solutions for the Do228. Customers benefit from ongoing training that covers all aspects of the Do228 NXT. With the new FTD Level 2 approval, GA-ATS underlines its commitment to quality and safety in training and emphasizes the importance of the comprehensive in-house offering, which ranges from basic qualifications to regular further training.
