The HKIAA has installed an advanced flight simulator to provide participants with a realistic simulation of flight experience, and it is now available to professional pilots for practices of cockpit procedures.
Modelled on a twin-engine airliner cockpit of 1:1 measured dimension, the simulator is equipped with full-function control knobs on the glare shield and touch-screen switches on the main instrument and pedestal panel, all capable of operation of different flight modes and most aircraft systems. Faults and malfunctions can be generated or pre- programmed during different phases of the exercise. Various weather conditions can be projected onto the wide-scope super HD screens to create realistic visual effects with synchronised geographical positions. In addition to auto-pilot, manual flying is practicable by side-stick and rudder pedal around three axes.
Technical staff will be present throughout the session, assisting the participants to generate or load pre-programmed visual effects of various weather conditions, system malfunctions and selected abnormal/emergency scenarios.
The flight simulator is now available to one or two pilots at any timeslot during 09:00 – 18:00 daily except Sundays and Public Holidays. Interested parties please complete and submit the online application form by clicking “Enrol Now”. The Academy will contact you in 14 working days for a detailed arrangement. For enquiry, please send an email to FTE@hkiaaAcademy.com.
The flight simulator offers participants experience in a 1:1 flight deck, equipped with the main instrument panel, flight control unit (FCU) and multipurpose control display unit (MCDU)
