Simulator systems integration

Abstract

The implementation of available wind shear data into general aviation flight training simulators is discussed. Currently, there are 11 simulators with wind shear models installed involving some 9 different aircraft models. Retrofits to other systems that were put out earlier are currently underway, and all the new simulators will have wind shear available for the instructors to use for demonstrations and training. There are three types of computer systems involved, and two different types of instructor stations. Most of the systems with wind shear are the CRT-type displays. The integration of wind shear models in flight simulators is discussed in detail.
