General Information A320
The offered FSIM, FNPT EASA Level I/II Training Device is a full replica of the actual
A320 Flight Deck environments and functionalities. All Flight Deck controls, panels, knobs, switches and other components found in the actual aircraft Flight Deck are replicated in size, look, feel and functionality in the Training Devices.
In addition to aircraft hardware, the aircraft systems and avionics are simulated in great detail to ensure the ability to represent and train all phases of flight under normal, abnormal, and emergency conditions. Behind the Training Device’ Flight Deck is an Instructor Operator Station with sufficient room for the instructor and an observer.
Outside and in front of the device is a curved projection screen that the synthetic world is projected on by three high definition projectors that are mounted above the device. The result is a highly accurate Flight Deck and large scale visual system that provides immersive training environment that puts pilots in an incredibly realistic simulated environment where they can learn jet flying skills that are nearly impossible to train using aircrafts.
The Training Device will be fixed-mounted.
The key features of the FNPT can be summarized as following:
Full flight deck replica at FFS Level D quality
Fully enclosed design
Air Conditioning for cabin and flight deck
Full automated QTG with manual functionality
Ensuring educational syllabus for ATOs, suitable for EASA authorization

COMPUTER SOFTWARE
The Flight Simulation Software package provided with the Cockpitsonic A320 FNPT EASA Level II / FAA Level 6 is a most-modern and proven solution that was developed and qualified by industry experts, pilots and SME’s within the Cockpitsonic partner network.
The Flight model operates on the basis of an official aircraft data package and industry wide accepted data, models and equations.
It comes with a ready-to-use QTG, and supports automated QTG runs on the FNPT.
QUALIFICATION TEST GUIDE
FSIM will provide a Qualification Test Guide with the FNPT. The QTG is used to create the highly accurate flight models with speed, climb, roll, and turn rates. The Qualification Test Guide is based on NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) wind tunnel data to calculate lift and drag parameters for the airfoils.
In addition, it provides the necessary data and formulas to calculate relevant flight dynamics rates. The underlying principle of the Qualification Test Guide is to calculate parameters based on the physical characteristics of the real aircraft and rely on the equations of motion built into the flight simulator to model the performance of the simulated aircraft.
For qualification and certification, FSIM will utilize the Airbus G05 “Aircraft Data and Material for the design, production and qualification of Flight and Training Devices” license. The license can be acquired by the end-user (preferred) or by FSIM.
DELIVERY AND INTEGRATION
FSIM will deliver, install and integrate the A320 FNPT II Training Device at facilities named by the customer.
Early in the project already, FSIM will consult with the customer on the necessary Infrastructure Requirements. Those are documented in the FSIM Infrastructure Specification. It remains in customer’s responsibility to insure that the agreed-upon infrastructure requirements are fulfilled.
The installation and final integration of the two devices will be done by experienced FSIM staff. Customer shall support with appropriate technical support staff on site, if required.
Once the integration is finished, FSIM will perform extensive subsystem and system functional and operational testing’s. The test results will be documented and handed-over to the customer.
