Regulatory Upgrades

Upgrade your full-flight simulator fleet to align with the latest requirements of your Civil Aviation Authority and global aviation safety measures.

TCAS Change 7.1 Upgrade

The VHF upgrade involves replacing the existing 25kHz capability VHF comm control panel with a new one of 8.33 kHz spacing capability, a mandatory radio feature in many busy airspaces. Our experts perform integration into simulator architecture (Host, IOS, and audio system).

VHF 8.33 kHz Upgrade

The VHF upgrade involves replacing the existing 25kHz capability VHF comm control panel with a new one of 8.33 kHz spacing capability, a mandatory radio feature in many busy airspaces. Our experts perform integration into simulator architecture (Host, IOS, and audio system).

Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) Upgrade

Upset prevention and recovery training (UPRT) is a mandatory upgrade for level C and level D full-flight simulators. Whether you need to comply with the FAA or the EASA requirements, Simaero Engineering can implement a full stall or approach-to-stall UPRT upgrade on any type of simulator.

Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) Upgrade

Performance-based navigation (PBN) aims to establish global standardization for area navigation (RNAV) and required navigation performance (RNP) specifications. Given its prevalence in most airspaces, integrating PBN capability into a full-flight simulator is mandatory. Since this upgrade may encompass various subsystem upgrades, Simaero Engineering conducts a comprehensive study as the initial step to provide an integrated turnkey solution.

Flight Management System (FMS) Upgrade

From integrating real avionics to upgrading rehosted/retargeted systems, Simaero Engineering can replace or upgrade flight management systems (FMS) from all manufacturers on any aircraft type.

Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) Upgrade

Simaero Engineering can implement EGPWS, the enhanced version of the early GPWS, to alert the pilot about hazardous terrain or obstructions on any full-flight simulator.

Global Positioning System (GPS) Upgrade

Global Positioning System (GPS) and, more generally, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are widely used systems in modern aircraft. From simulation software to hardware modifications, Simaero Engineering can integrate this system into any type of simulator.

Weather Radar Upgrade

Weather radar, also known as WXR, enables the tactical planning of a safe flight trajectory. Simaero Engineering has developed an exclusive and complete PC-based solution to upgrade or replace the existing WXR system.

Avionics Upgrades

Upgrade your full-flight simulator fleet avionics to enhance their capabilities.

Performance Upgrades

Upgrade your full-flight simulator fleet performance to elevate customer experience, satisfaction, and preference.

Visual System Upgrade

Visual system upgrades consist of replacing outdated visual systems with newer technology that is more effective, less expensive to maintain, and provides an extended field of view. This upgrade includes the image generator and/or the projection system.

Motion System Upgrade

Simaero Engineering offers comprehensive integration services for electric or electropneumatic motion systems. This includes assessing electrical consumption improvements, studying existing and new systems from various manufacturers, and providing mechanical adaptations.

Instructor Operating Station Upgrade

To ensure optimal training experience for both trainees and instructors, Simaero Engineering has developed an exclusive Instructor Operating Station (IOS) solution. This enhances efficiency and ease of use for instructors during training while also relieving maintenance teams of stress associated with obsolete parts in older systems.

Host Computer Upgrade

To comprehensively modernize obsolete host computers, Simaero Engineering has developed an exclusive simulation software architecture module capable of adapting to any host computer from any generation. As with all our upgrade projects, each host computer upgrade is contingent upon a prior study conducted by our experts.
