authentic tactical fighting system
Ground-based simulator training prevails as the most economical, safe and controlled approach to flight training when teamed with the limited use of live aircraft. However, most simulators have limited capabilities in terms of producing the most realistic flight training experience. This is attributable to their lack of motion during the simulated training experience.
The most effective simulators endeavor to provide high fidelity cockpits with realistic motion bases for the ultimate in training effectiveness.
ETC's Authentic Tactical Fighting System (ATFS) Series addresses the entire range of simulated flight training by offering a Series of simulators that provide simulation at all levels - from stationary ground based units to motion based units with high G forces.
the payoff
ATFS-400 addresses all elements of simulation fidelity to provide an effective, realistic, and controlled training experience.
