Advanced flight provider Elite Simulation Solutions has installed a Diamond DA-42 open cockpit training device for a private pilot in Switzerland. The new simulator, which incorporates the latest in flight training technology, provides an unparalleled training experience and supports the pilot's development in a realistic, immersive environment.

The Elite Diamond DA-42 simulator features cutting-edge specifications designed to enhance training for both new and experienced pilots. This particular version boasts a dual-pilot configuration, providing instructors and students with a dynamic training platform. The inclusion of dynamic control loading further improves the authenticity of the flight experience by providing realistic control forces, closely simulating the behaviour of the aircraft in various flight conditions.

In addition to the dual-pilot and control loading features, this simulator configuration is equipped with a 6DOF (six degrees of freedom) full-motion system. This high-performance motion system offers the most immersive training environment possible, providing motion cues for pitch, roll, yaw, heave, sway and surge, ensuring the pilot can experience the full range of aircraft responses during training.

“By integrating a full-motion system with the Diamond DA-42 AATD, we are providing a state-of-the-art tool for flight training that enhances the learning experience,” says Elite Simulation Solutions director of marketing and sales Rene Huddlestone. “This simulator is designed to replicate real-world flight conditions as closely as possible, helping pilots refine their skills safely and effectively at a very affordable price.”

The addition of this advanced training device in Switzerland reflects Elite's ongoing commitment to enhancing aviation education worldwide. The Diamond DA-42 open cockpit advanced aviation training device (AATD) is fully FAA certified, offering an unmatched platform for flight schools, private pilots and commercial operations.
