#UNIVERSAL FMS TRAINER SOFTWARE#
The FMS Trainer software provides interactive training for Universal’s FMSs, including the current line of satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS)-capable systems. “The iPad app solves this issue beautifully, allowing customers to achieve a low-cost, realistic solution for hands-on FMS training.” “Customers desiring a true hands-on training experience had to use expensive aircraft hardware,” said Robert LaBerge, Universal Avionics customer training manager. Previously, Universal’s customers would have to use a computer mouse to operate the FMS Trainer software. It sends Universal’s FMS Trainer CDU display screen to the iPad, and key pushes from the simulated CDU are sent back to the FMS Trainer via a wireless network. The new app supports “life-sized, touch-sensitive” emulation of the Tucson, Ariz.-based company’s four-inch CDU, five-inch CDU and multifunctional CDU, providing operators with realistic training in flight management system (FMS) operations.
