In commercial aviation, training quality, uptime, and cost control  all have to work together. At Simtek Inc. , we support that balance by delivering high-fidelity simulated avionics for commercial flight training —built to make your simulator feel like the real aircraft. Our simulated control panels, displays, and instruments  are engineered for form, fit, and function , helping airlines, OEMs, and training centers create cockpit environments that pilots recognize instantly.

Why CH-47 Fidelity Matters The CH-47 Chinook is built for demanding missions—heavy lift, sling load operations, shipboard and austere environments, NVG operations, and complex crew coordination. When a training device doesn’t feel right, crews notice. Small mismatches in switch feel, annunciation behavior, lighting, or panel layout can undermine training value and increase integration risk. Prime contractors aren’t just buying parts—they’re buying fidelity, schedule confidenc

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

Power over Ethernet (PoE)  is exactly what it sounds like: a way to deliver DC power and Ethernet data over the same standard network cable . Instead of running an Ethernet cable and  a separate power cable (plus an outlet or power supply), PoE lets you install and operate compatible devices using one cable  from a PoE switch or injector. In the world of flight simulation hardware , that simplicity translates into something every integrator and prime cares about: faster build

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

In flight simulation, hardware isn’t just hardware—it’s the difference between a trainer that stays online and one that constantly fights downtime. Whether you’re building a new device, upgrading a legacy simulator, or sustaining a fleet over decades, you need cockpit components that are: built for high-cycle training use consistent across devices supportable long after typical electronics go obsolete backed by a supplier who responds fast when training schedules are at risk

At Simtek , we don’t just react to where training is today—we build for where it’s going next . Simtek innovates today for tomorrow’s simulated avionics platforms. As aircraft evolve, missions become more complex, and training demands increase, simulators need hardware that can keep up. That’s why we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of high-fidelity simulated avionics  for both military  and commercial  platforms. From Next-Gen Fighters to Commercial Trainers Whether you’

Euless, Texas — January 5, 2026 Simtek is proud to announce we have been awarded contracts to deliver Qty 7 shipsets  and Qty 11 shipsets  supporting multiple C-130J flight simulator cockpit configurations . This award expands Simtek’s role in delivering rugged, high-fidelity simulated avionics hardware built for demanding training environments. Supporting Multiple Cockpit Configurations The program scope includes a tailored mix of simulated control panels, cockpit displays,

Dallas Skyline At Simtek , our location is more than just an address—it’s a strategic advantage. Based in Euless, Texas , we’re situated just minutes from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) , one of the busiest aviation hubs in the world. Being this close to a major airport—and to key aviation and defense companies—helps us stay deeply connected to the real-world operations our simulated avionics are built to support. Minutes from DFW: Easy Acces s for Customers an

C-130 ENGINE FIRE PANEL In the real aircraft, many cockpit controls are designed for rare, high-consequence use. In the simulator, those same functions get used over and over and over again . That difference in usage is exactly why Simtek simulated avionics are engineered to be more robust than many OEM components . Our panels, switches, and controls have to survive years of constant training abuse  while still feeling realistic and behaving correctly every time. The 737 Fire

As the calendar turns to a new year, it’s a perfect moment to pause and celebrate the journey so far. At Simtek Inc, we want to extend our warmest wishes to all our readers and partners for a happy and fulfilling New Year. This time offers a chance to reflect on the milestones we have reached together and to share our excitement about what lies ahead in 2026. Looking Back on 2025: A Year of Growth and Success The past year brought many opportunities and challenges, and Simtek

Southwest Airlines - 737 When a prime contractor is building or upgrading a 737 full-flight simulator , the avionics inside the cockpit aren’t just “parts.” They’re training-critical components that must survive relentless use, stay consistent across devices, and be supportable for years—often decades. At Simtek , we’ve earned a reputation as the team primes call when they need 737 simulator avionics that hold up in the real world of flight training —where switches get cycled
