Simtek High-Fidelity Components for FAA & EASA Certified Boeing 737 Training Devices

When you’re building or sustaining a Boeing 737 training device, fidelity isn’t marketing fluff—it’s mission-critical. In professional training environments, crews rely on the simulator for muscle memory, procedural discipline, and high-tempo repetition. That only works when the cockpit hardware is built to perform like the real thing.


At Simtek, we manufacture high-fidelity simulated avionics and cockpit components that support FAA and EASA certified training devices for the Boeing 737. Our focus is simple: deliver hardware that looks right, feels right, integrates cleanly, and holds up to continuous use.


What “High Fidelity” Really Means in a 737 Simulator

A Boeing 737 cockpit is a hands-on environment. Every switch, bezel, indicator, and control interaction matters. “High fidelity” means more than getting the shape close—it means building the correct pilot interface:


  • True-to-aircraft form, fit, and alignment

  • Realistic tactile response (detents, throw, force feel, actuation)

  • Consistent legend and lighting behavior

  • Durability under high-tempo training operations

  • Repeatable builds for multi-shipset programs and sustainment


Pilots notice immediately when a cockpit feels “almost right.” We build to remove that gap.

Supporting FAA and (EASA) Certified Training Devices

It’s important to say this clearly: FAA and (EASA) certification applies to the complete training device, not any single part. But the components inside the cockpit must support that certification goal—through realism, reliability, traceability, and consistent performance.


Simtek supports customers pursuing and sustaining FAA and (EASA) certified devices by delivering components with:


  • Consistent manufacturing processes

  • Configuration control and repeatability

  • Build discipline that supports regulated programs

  • Documentation and part control suitable for long-term sustainment


When certification and customer acceptance are on the line, suppliers can’t be the uncertainty in the system.


Why Simtek for Boeing 737 Components

1) Realism pilots can feel

We build for the human interface—because that’s what training depends on. The goal is confidence in every interaction, every session.

2) Durability that protects uptime

Training centers run devices hard. Our products are designed to withstand repeated use and minimize maintenance churn.

3) Lower total cost of ownership

A cheaper part that fails early—or creates intermittent issues—costs more through downtime and troubleshooting. Simtek focuses on stable performance and long service life.

4) Manufacturing discipline you can scale


Built for New Builds, Upgrades, and Sustainment

Boeing 737 simulators evolve continuously—retrofits, cockpit refreshes, avionics updates, and obsolescence replacements are part of life. Simtek supports:

  • New simulator builds

  • Cockpit modernization and refresh programs

  • Obsolescence replacement

  • Sustainment spares and repeat production
