GROUND-BASED TRAINING SMARTERPIECE One key objective of a modern Training System is to produce a highly trained pilot capable of meeting the demands of flying today's sophisticated aircraft. With increasing cost of equipment, resources and time, this goal has to be achieved in the most economical way. Preparation on the ground saves perspiration and failure in the air. By the time students commence flying, they should be fully conversant with systems and avionics functionality. The PC-7 MKX Ground-Based Training System translates student learning into an airborne environment. While designing...
