The device has exact replication of the glass cockpit of the C172R, a 3-channel visual system featuring custom-built India RealView airport scenery with 60cm aerial<br \/>photography resolution, and 3D replication of every building at the airport.<br \/>The Academy can trace its history to 1932, when it was opened as the AP Flying Club under the guidance of the ex-ruler Nizam of Hyderabad. It became<br \/>AP Aviation Academy in 1998 and currently runs a fleet of two Cessna C152s and two Cessna 172Rs, both with glass cockpit.<br \/>Fully approved by the India DGCA (Director General of Civil Aviation) it opened an AME college three years ago, this now having 251 students.

It is like a mini A320 simulator, without the motion.\u00e2\u20ac\u0153<br \/>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our students are very happy that all types of let downs and instrument procedures can be practiced, under various simulated weather conditions.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<br \/>The sale of the Elite device was handled by the company\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dealer in India, SRK Aviacom (I) Pvt Ltd, who had made successful previous sales of Elite\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s<br \/>equipment to flight training organisations in India, with certifications granted by the India DGCA.<br \/><span style=\"color: rgb(153, 0, 0);\">15\/04\/09 <span style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\">PRESS RELEASE<\/span>\/Elite Simulation Solutions<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The AP Aviation Academy is now using a device designed and built by Elite Simulation Solutions to help train pilots<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=930"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/930\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
