Simtek - H60 Flight Simulator The flight simulation industry is changing. In July 2026, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) introduced its most significant update to Flight Simulation Training Device qualification in decades. The new framework introduces the FSTD Capability Signature (FCS) and places greater emphasis on matching simulator capabilities and fidelity to the actual training task being performed. For simulator manufacturers, training organizations, ai

SIMTEK - T-6 FLIGHT SIMULATOR Flight simulation has changed dramatically. Traditional full-cockpit simulators are now being joined by virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and other immersive training systems. But no matter how advanced the visuals become, one thing has not changed: Pilots still train with their hands. A simulator can reproduce an aircraft cockpit with impressive visual accuracy, but if the switches, knobs, controls, and displays do not feel and operate l

In flight simulation, fidelity matters—but not every part of a training device needs to be built exactly like the aircraft. Simtek F-18 Flight Simulator For prime contractors and simulator integrators, one of the most important decisions during development is determining where aircraft-level fidelity directly supports the training objective and where it simply adds unnecessary cost, complexity, weight, and schedule risk. The goal should not always be to reproduce an aircraft

Simtek - Simulated Avionics Simulator programs are under constant pressure to reduce cost. Customers want shorter lead times, easier maintenance, and lower acquisition cost. All without sacrificing the realism needed to support effective training. The good news is that lowering cost does not have to mean lowering training value. The key is identifying where fidelity truly matters and where a simpler, purpose-built solution can provide the same training benefit. Focus Fidelity
