ORLANDO, FL, JUNE 9, 2011 – SimCom Training Centers, the exclusive factory authorized provider of Eclipse 500 training, is upgrading one of its Eclipse simulators and has expanded the capabilities and credits of its Eclipse 500 training courses in Orlando, FL.  These improvements will allow pilots to train using the most advanced avionics available for the airplane and will provide the most efficient Initial Type Rating program.
One of two Eclipse simulators is being reconfigured with the Avio Integrated Flight Management System (IFMS), duplicating the most advanced and updated avionics option for the airplane.  The Avio IFMS includes digital moving map, XM weather integration, electronic charts, flight plan overlay on Nav displays and WAAS precision approach capability (LPV).  The simulator upgrade to Avio IFMS is expected to be completed by the Fall of 2011.

Further, SimCom now offers an optional advanced Eclipse Initial Type Rating course for more experienced pilots.  This advanced course shortens the duration from 14 days to 9 days.  Designed for the pilot with previous turbine and high altitude operating experience the 9-day course has a reduced number of classroom hours focused specifically on the Eclipse 500.  The total simulator hours are the same as the 14-day course, but are condensed and administered using a more intensive format.  For years, SimCom has successfully provided similar advanced pace training to qualified pilots on other jet aircraft.

“Taking advantage of our experience, we have been able to achieve these major training course improvements for Eclipse pilots,” says Wally David, SimCom’s President and Chief Operating Officer.  “The upgraded avionics and the shortened 9-day Initial Type Rating course improve and simplify the process for pilots seeking to obtain Eclipse 500 Initial or Recurrent training.  The Eclipse is a superb airplane that deserves the equally superb simulator training programs we are now offering.”
