On Top PCATD

ASA's On Top PCATD combines the power and flexibility of the On Top software
with aviation's most realistic flight controls, a complete instructional guide
and an integrated ground and flight training syllabus, to make a loggable
package for Part 61 and Part 141 instrument students.
PC-based IFR simulation is becoming the accepted method of initial
instrument training and procedures practice for students and pilots. Up to 10
hours can be logged towards the instrument rating with the On Top PCATD, plus an
unlimited amount of ground training hours. Complex procedures such as NDB
intercepts, intersection holds with gusting winds, and in-flight, realistic
instrument or systems failures can be performed, analyzed and replayed. By
mastering these skills on the ground, students can cut significantly into the
time and cost of traditional flight training.

PCATDs on our PCATD History & Practical
