Flight training business Pilot Proficiency has taken delivery of a Frasca reconfigurable training device (RTD) simulator and opened for business at its first pilot recurrency training centre located in Lisle, Illinois.

The company offers FAA approved Frasca advanced aviation training devices in locations convenient to pilots and available 24/7. Pilots can book simulator time by the hour or make a commitment to proficiency with monthly subscription plans for affordable recurrency training.

Pilot Proficiency operates a Frasca RTD, an AATD featuring real Garmin G1000 Nxi software for a realistic cockpit experience.The RTD can be configured to fly like the Cessna 172 as well as Cessna and Piper Seminole multi-engine aircraft utilising conversion kits. The Frasca RTD also features a three channel visual system and enclosure.

Using the RTD, pilots can self-log their simulator experience without an instructor or safety pilot present. The company's goal is to make it easy for pilots to maintain their currency by offering simulators in locations where pilots live and work.
