Tailored solutions
“The simulation in trust, to maintain both, your simulator profitability and your training excellence.”
The civil aviation training business always had to combine regulatory requirements, technology complexity and budgetary constraints. However, the compromise margin and the intellectual property rights made decisions more and more difficult. Training simulator operators are mainly captive of simulator manufacturers’ property rights and these manufacturers, trying to optimize their products and their margins, are only proposing extensive but also very expensive solutions. This leads operators to wait to have many required changes pending and to provision a sufficient amount to order these solutions to make this quite profitable. But during this waiting period, simulator is losing its accuracy and attractiveness.
Sim in TRUST company has a really different approach. We have no hidden costs, no communality requirements and so associated efforts to sometimes make a square fit into a circle, no need to provide you more than you need, especially expensive fancy but useless functions . We just aim to provide you what you really need at the moment you need it and the way you need it.
During our more than 20 years experience, we developed a large panel of solutions and a large network of partners to support you. The main solutions are mentioned below.
Refurbish, retrofit or repair
Extend your simulator lifetime, optimize your operational costs
Our extensive knowledge of many simulator architectures allow us to propose refurbish or retrofit solutions to address obsolescence issues, extent life span of your device and also to improve its reliability, energy consumption and operational costs.
We can propose brand new solutions to replace your computer cabinet or just parts of it. Every solution can be itemized and is mixable with the previous architecture to ease the deployment and the qualification. We can also couple these refurbishments integrating updates of other major systems from other providers like visual, motion or control loading.
Computer cabinet renovation
Address many of your obsolescence issues replacing your obsolete computer systems (either COTS PC or dedicated racks) by brand new ones fully configured, fully compatible, highly reliable with long spares availability (*).
(*) available on the market. Moreover Sim in TRUST will keep a stock of such spares, preconfigured for your configuration and available on very short notice to solve failures of your device.
Visual replacement or upgrade
We are able to change your projectors, design the potential bracket changes or adaptations, and provide new computers. We can install your former visual software or a different type one and we can also make the required driver changes. We also developed an expertise in fine settings and tuning of RSI XT® and Simthetiq aXion® products.
I/O interface renovation or extension
We can change your whole signals interface or just a part of it or also provide an extension to handle new equipments.
We use highly reliable products with long term availability.
Repair of computers, actuators
As an alternative or a complement of a whole renovation, we can repair some of your parts like computers or actuators.
UPDATE or UPGRADE
Keep your training excellence
The aeronautical regulations are always extending and the aircraft are always evolving to introduce operational or safety improvements. To stay on the top of the training and attractiveness requires being able to follow and even to anticipate the new functions or requirements for the initial or recurrent training that is a real challenge.
Our company is able to provide you updates or upgrades at fair prices because there are no hidden costs, no other requirements than yours. You just pay for what you need and for what is the best compromise for you. We have been involved for more than 20 years with major players of the training simulation field and we developed many solutions to assist you, from a limited set of functions or equipment update or installation to a full aircraft standard or block point upgrade. Moreover, we optimize your simulator operation providing you a fully generic configuration or a fully customized one. We can adapt the changes to be as close as possible as the aircraft the pilots are flying and to ease the instructor operations.
The changes can be applied at once or step by step to minimize lead time and your simulator downtime and to ease qualification.
Aircraft system updates
Implementation of modifications fully based on documentation and fully checked using in-house test means to minimize simulator breakdown.
Installation of new kits of parts and deployment of hardware upgrades to assist software evolutions.
Support for qualification.
New functionality addition
Feasibility studies, specification and integration of real computers (EGPWS, GNSS…) or simulated functions (TCAS) including hardware and documentation modification and technicians training.
Visual scenes update
For some visual types, we developed along the years, competencies to specify and recheck the modifications to be made by our partners to provide accurate changes, without iterations and at low costs.
SNAG CORRECTION
For a training without discrepancies
Discrepancy remarks are always a pain, preventing a seamless training session or worse implying the possibility of negative training. Even if nothing is perfect, the lower remarks there is the better it is. Especially as many remarks implies a lot of communication to simulator users, authorities and even a loss of trust in the device and possibly a loose of customers.
Our company developed a very strong experience to solve every issue from a quite simple one to a very complex one and in a wide range of applications: aircraft performances, navigation, aircraft systems, simulator systems, QTG (performances, sound, motion, visual, control loading). We can manage the whole activity as we are able to deeply analyse the simulator behaviour, the aircraft documentation and to implement a correction, a patch or to change the design to make it work. We are also experienced on many training devices types to be able to integrate the modification on our own before rechecking it with you.
Aircraft systems
Knowledge of all systems (air conditioning, engine, navigation, fuel…).
Working in Toulouse, we are deeply experienced on all AIRBUS (A300 to A350) and ATR (42-300 to 72-600) aircraft but we also know aircraft like B737 or lighter airplane.
Simulator systems
We are really experienced on Mechtronix/TRU/CAE TSP devices for having been employees of these manufacturers but we also worked a lot on TT&S, ECA FAROS and FSI devices.
QTG
Whatever the issue is related to aircraft performance, QTG scenario, sound, motion, control loading or documentation, we can solve it.
TRADING OF PARTS
Secure your device operation, optimize your costs
A training simulator is a huge investment that requires a very long lifetime to make it profitable and/or to provide low training costs. The needs it covers are mainly linked to aircraft type lifetime that is huge so the simulator lifetime is often driven by its components lifetime or availability. So to secure your operation at short, medium or long term, we can help you providing you spare parts fully compatible, checked and set for your configuration. We will have soon an online shop where you will already find the part you need if we have it on stock. Waiting the availability of our shop, please use our contact form. If this part is not available, we can look at it or at a suitable replacement part for you, ensuring it will fit.
If you then choose to renovate your device, no problem either, we can buy your old parts and spares for you to save money and room.
Looking for simulator parts
We have not the part in stock? We can look at it for you.
You can find one but not configured? We can configure it for you.
The part is not available anywhere? We can find a replacement part or a workaround solution.
Sell of simulator parts
We sell new or refurbished, original or compatible parts for your device.
Buy of simulator parts
Make space and money selling us the parts you don’t need anymore.
