What types of simulators are used in pilot training at Republic Airways?

Full flight simulators and flight training devices are critical components of pilot training at Republic Airways. Full flight simulators replicate the cockpit and operational environment of an aircraft in a highly detailed manner, allowing pilots to experience realistic flight conditions and scenarios without leaving the ground. These simulators are equipped with visual systems that create a 360-degree view, replicating actual flight conditions including weather, terrain, and other air traffic.

Flight training devices, on the other hand, offer a more simplified version of the flight simulator, often focusing on specific aircraft systems and maneuvers. They are essential for practicing emergency procedures and aircraft systems management in a controlled setting, ensuring pilots gain a thorough understanding of the aircraft’s operations.

Together, these tools provide comprehensive training that enhances both the knowledge and skills necessary for a pilot to operate aircraft safely and effectively. This combination is crucial for the development of competent and confident aviators, preparing them to handle real-world flying experiences.
