Product Testing That Builds Confidence: Vibration, Burn-In, and Thermal Testing
Simtek Simulated MCDU - 737 In simulated avionics, performance isn’t proven when a unit powers on—it’s proven after repeated use, long hours, and real-world handling. That’s why strong product testing isn’t optional. It’s how you protect training uptime, reduce maintenance surprises, and ensure every delivered unit behaves the way it should. At Simtek, we believe the best products are the ones that keep working—consistently—after the stresses of production, shipping, installa


Boosting Accuracy with High-Fidelity Simulation: Why “Close Enough” Isn’t Good Enough
Simtek Simulated avionics - Train Like It's Real In training and test environments, accuracy isn’t a luxury—it’s the entire point. Whether you’re preparing pilots for real-world scenarios, validating procedures, or building confidence in complex systems, the simulator has one job: reflect reality so well that the skills transfer cleanly to the aircraft. That’s where high-fidelity simulation changes the game. When the details are right—behavior, feel, response, timing, and..


High-Fidelity Simulated Avionics for Mixed Reality Training
Simtek F-16 - Mixed Reality When “good enough” breaks, training stops. Mixed reality (MR) is changing how aircrews train. Instead of relying solely on full-motion devices or purely virtual cockpits, MR platforms blend real tactile hardware with immersive digital environments. Done right, MR lets crews build muscle memory, execute true-to-life procedures, and repeat complex scenarios—faster, safer, and at a lower lifecycle cost than traditional training paths. That “done right

Ready When It Counts: Simtek Stocking Critical Components for AOG Simulator Repairs
In the training world, when a simulator goes down, it might as well be an AOG event . Instructors, students, crews, and schedules are all impacted until that device is back online. At Simtek, we take simulator uptime seriously. That’s why we stock critical components specifically to support AOG-style simulator repairs —so when something fails, you’re not waiting months for a replacement. Treating Simulator Downtime Like AOG An aircraft-on-ground (AOG) situation demands fast


Does Your Vendor Prioritize Your Simulator’s Uptime?
When your simulator is down, training stops —and so does your schedule, your throughput, and your revenue. Long lead times, slow responses, and vague ETAs can turn a minor issue into a major problem. That’s why at Simtek , we put a huge emphasis on one thing:👉 Keeping your simulator up and running. Does your vendor prioritize your simulator's uptime? For us, the answer is yes —backed by a dedicated Service Department focused on quick, high-quality repairs. A Dedicated Servi
