When you’re selecting a simulated avionics partner, the hardware is only half the story. What matters is how that hardware supports your training outcomes over years of service.
At Simtek, simulated avionics is not a side business—it’s our core focus.
One-Stop Shop: Simulated Panels, Displays, and Instruments
Instead of managing multiple vendors for different cockpit elements, Simtek gives you a single, integrated source for:
Because we own the full stack—from metalwork and PCBs to firmware and integration support—your avionics suite is consistent in look, feel, and behavior. Fewer interfaces, fewer surprises, and a cleaner path from concept to qualified training device.
Deep Avionics + Simulator Expertise
Simtek lives at the intersection of real aircraft avionics and simulator constraints. We understand what the original equipment does, how avionics behaves, what the pilot expects—and how to replicate that behavior reliably in a training device, whether it’s a single cockpit upgrade or a fleet of simulators worldwide.
Engineering and Manufacturing Under One Roof
Mechanical, electrical, and software engineering work hand-in-hand with in-house CNC machining, assembly, and test. That tight loop means:
Faster design turns
Consistent quality across repeat builds
Easier customization without blowing the schedule
You’re not chasing multiple vendors to fix a single panel—we own the whole solution.
Lifecycle, Supply Chain, and Obsolescence Built In
Simtek doesn’t just ship hardware and disappear. We think in decades, not months:
Component and obsolescence planning built into the design
Form-fit-function replacements and refresh paths
Support and spares programs for long-running training fleets
That reduces total ownership cost and keeps your devices training instead of waiting on parts.
True Engineering Partner, Not Just a Vendor
From requirements refinement to integration support, Simtek works as an extension of your team. We help de-risk schedules, solve stubborn avionics issues, and keep your training devices aligned with evolving aircraft configurations.
That’s what makes Simtek different: focused expertise in simulated avionics, hardware pilots trust, and long-term partnership you can rely on. Trust Simtek to be your simulated avionics supplier.
