The device will feature Frasca's Simplicity software graphical user interface, electric control loading, digital sound system and flight and systems simulation to train normal, abnormal and emergency procedures in the rotorcraft flight manual. In addition, the AATD will include Frasca's TruVision global image generator with three channel direct-view projected visual display system. The visual system will include Frasca's worldwide visual database at base map level and a Newport, Oregon, helicopter mission training database.
