General Information B737
FSIM Solutions B737 Trainer is a replication of the actual Boeing 737NG flight deck. 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 device. In addition to hardware, the aircraft systems and avionics are simulated in great detail to ensure the ability to train all phases of flight under normal, abnormal, and emergency conditions. Behind the flight deck is a fully enclosed instructor station with sufficient room for the instructor and an observer. Outside and in front of the device is a massive tall curved projection screen that the synthetic world is projected on by three high definition projectors that are mounted above the device.
The result of the replicated flight deck, highly accurate software and massive visual system is a completely 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
aircraft.

Maintenance & Service
The Boeing 737NG Jet Trainer requires no formal maintenance from CockpitSonic Solutions personnel; therefore there are no direct maintenance costs to estimate. However, the device does need minor regularly scheduled maintenance that should be completed by Generic State technicians. The suggested maintenance includes:
-
Regular sweeping of the flooring
-
Dusting of instructor station desk.
-
Dusting of cockpit (panels, dash, etc.)
-
Checking components for loose screws and/or nuts and tightening
as necessary.
