Product overview

Acron Aviation’s Flat Panel Trainers provide an effective tool for systems and procedures familiarization before pilots progress to more advanced training devices like full flight simulators. They are particularly useful for reinforcing the following key skills:

  • Crew resource management (CRM) techniques
  • Flight management computer (FMC) operations
  • Normal flight procedures
  • Handling system abnormalities

Our Flat Panel Trainers feature an intuitive touchscreen Instructor Operating Station (IOS) for enhanced control of training sessions. The IOS includes:

  • Aircraft repositioning capabilities
  • Predefined lesson plans
  • Integrated moving map displays
  • Environmental settings and simulation freezes
  • Malfunction simulation (live or programmed)
  • Customizable visual conditions

Benefits of Flat Panel Trainers

Whether introducing new procedures, improving crew coordination, or enhancing operational efficiency, Acron Aviation’s Flat Panel Trainers provide several key benefits:

  • Innovative training technology: As industry leaders, we provide cutting-edge pilot training solutions tailored to the needs of airline operators
  • Versatile aircraft options: Our Flat Panel Trainers are available in various aircraft types and feature advanced capabilities like integrated moving map displays, live malfunctions, and active schematics
  • Realistic training environment: With immersive visual and environmental conditions, your crew can train in real-world scenarios that prepare them for actual flight operations
  • Bespoke training programs: Customize your training to meet specific airline procedures and requirements, creating a fully tailored learning experience
  • Cost and time efficiency: Reduce the need for expensive full flight simulator (FFS) sessions by using Flat Panel Trainers for preliminary training, saving both time and resources for your airline or training center

Strategic uses of Flat Panel Trainers

Our custom Flat Panel Trainers can be adapted to suit the unique procedures and operations of your airline. Here are some strategic uses:

  • Simulator briefings: Rehearse key maneuvers during pre-simulator sessions
  • Systems integration: Train crews on aircraft systems and soft skills, such as CRM and threat & error management
  • Year-round training: Practice new procedures or address "hot topics" throughout the year
  • Increase efficiency: Expand the use of Flat Panel Trainers to minimize time spent in full flight simulators, reducing overall training costs
