HAWKER PILOT TRAINER

Virtual Simulation
for Pilot Training

A new Dimension in Pilot Training

Sold and serviced by Aero Innovation inc., the HAWKER PILOT TRAINER (HPT) is a low-cost, certified generic advanced Flight Training Device (FTD Level 2). Its design is based entirely on proven tranfer of training principles which will result in positive transfer to pilot performance in flight. The purpose of the HPT is to educate pilots in the basic principles underlying safe flight, while teaching the specific knowledge, skills, and doctrine that define the professional pilot.

Training Capabilities

The HAWKER PILOT TRAINER (HPT) will simulate various types of aircraft at the touch of a button. In fact, an unlimited number of aircraft can be simulated in the HPT. The device comes standard with 8 aircraft ranging from:

• a light single-engine like the Piper Cherokee,
• an advanced single-engine like the Piper Warrior with retractable landing gear and variable propeller pitch,
• a light piston twin-engine like the Piper Senecca,
• an advanced piston twin-engine like the Beechcraft Baron B-55 equipped with EFIS,
• a turbo-prop twin-engine like the Beechcraft KingAir A-90, equipped with EFIS,
• a business-class twin-jet like the Cessna Citation-1, equipped with EFIS (photo above),
• a commuter-type twin-jet like the Fokker F-28,
• an airline-type twin jet like the Boeing B-737 with traditional navigational equipment.

Don't be fooled: the HPT comes standard with all the above generic airplane types so an operator can sell training time to different trainees using different types of airplane. With only one box!

Each time you change from one airplane model to another, the whole instrument panel changes along with performances and controls, in only 3 minutes!!! In the HPT, the instruments and controls are located where they are found in the real airplane, not just where it was convenient for the simulation engineers to install them.

Training Features

The HPT offers all those traditional procedural exercises expected from conventional Flight Training Devices such as the Frasca 142, 242 and 242T (all in the same box!), and more:

• Intelligent, automatically adaptive visual augmentation
• The world's very first dynamic pictorial diagrams provided to trainees offering an unique opportunity to bring the theory into the cockpit
• Improved aircraft utilisation
• Multicrew development trainer (standard!)
• Line Oriented Flight Training (LOFT)
• Pilot Judgment training
• Eight aircraft in one!

Adaptive Augmentation

The HPT presents visual guidance and fight-path prediction to induce correct responses from the student without intervention from the instructor (figure below).

The automatic adaptive visual guidance and flight-path prediction are withdrawn when the student makes the proper control responses and reappear when performance exceeds limits that indicate help is still needed. The HPT thus combine cognitive and psychomotor learning in the same device.

Force Vectors

The real-time effects of controls can be shown graphically by means of dynamic force vertors emanating from an aircraft symbol depicted on the outside-view monitors (like the figure below), right before the trainee's eyes! This enables the simultaneous display of real-time information regarding both the theoretical and "real-world" effects of controls, in any sequence of in-flight action.

The trainee sees and reacts to live effects of the wing flaps, landing gear, power loss, flight controls on his/her real airplane model, in-flight! This feature, designed by flight instructors for flight instructors is simple fantastic! Ask those who tried it!
