Minneapolis, MN
September 21, 2006
The CAPT Program,
Flager County, FL, has signed an agreement for
Aerosim Technologies to provide a full suite of general
aviation training tools for their innovative pilot training
program. These trainers are all based on the Cirrus SR22, a
match to CAPT’s fleet of technically advanced training aircraft.
Aerosim trainers covered by the agreement include; twelve seats
of the Cirrus Avionics Systems Trainer™ software, three Aviator™ Advanced Aviation Training Devices, and two FAA
Level 6 Flight Training Devices.
The CAPT Program is a highly focused proficiency-based flight training program featuring the latest in technically advanced
training aircraft and flight simulation tools. “We are pleased that CAPT will integrate the Aerosim suite of Cirrus SR22
based trainers into their program,” says Eduardo Carrasco, Aerosim Manager of Business Development, “Our trainers are
designed to meet the highest fidelity and customization requirements and provide a truly integrated approach to training.”
“We knew we needed a progressive partner who could meet our quality and functionality standards,” says Shawn Raker,
President & CEO of Flight Training Services International, “We found that partner in Aerosim, our cadets and owner operator
customers, require CAPT to provide the most technologically advanced and effective training feasible, and Aerosim took
the time to really understand our training needs. The Aerosim full suite of trainers, will allow CAPT to provide a revolutionary
training experience for the General Aviation Community.”
All Aerosim training products are designed to operate in either a structured training environment or true free-play mode.
The Cirrus Avionics Systems Trainer software is designed for full avionics systems learning, using guided lessons integrated
with simulation to create a fully interactive training environment. The Aviator™ Advanced Aviation Training Device
(AATD) offers a cost effective substitute for instrument training time traditionally completed in the aircraft or in higher level
flight training devices. This stand alone trainer enables both procedural and operational performance task training related
to ground and flight training for private pilot, commercial pilot and other advanced certificates and ratings. Aerosim’s FAA
Level 6 FTD is a high-fidelity device that replicates specific aircraft and provides extremely realistic simulation just as in a
full flight simulator without the motion.
CAPT, a division of Flight Training Services International, offers Cirrus owners and operators initial and recurrent training
in the full line of Cirrus aircraft. CAPT also offers a full-immersion, one-year program that trains individuals with no flight
experience to the highest standards of the commercial airline industry. It uses the latest technologies to deliver airline-specific
training, including in-flight video cameras, self-reflecting journaling, line operations safety audits, and a curriculum
built on a foundation of crew concepts and crew resource management. More information is available on-line at www.
