Central Washington University utilizes six flight simulators for training that include a visual system that mimics a real-life experience of flying. Four of the flight simulators model our Piper Archer aircraft, which ensures our studetns are learning correct procedures and habits as all of the menu selections and button pushes are performed in the simulator as in the aircraft.
This is the newest addition to our department. This simulator mocks Piper Archer with G1000 NXi; the fleet that we use in flight training. Simulator training is incorporated in our Part 141 training, which will expedite the student's flight training progress.
This simulator mocks the Piper Archer with actual overhead switches. This is a great simulator for students to practice flows and procedures.
This simulator is a mock up of a Bombardier CRJ-200. Central Washington University uses this simulator to prepare the student for the airline oriented environment including Tubojet Operation, Crew Resource Management (CRM) training and Line-Oriented Flight Training (LOFT).
