The number of control devices in the EASy cockpit is half that on Falcon flightdecks and all are easier to reach. Workload is reduced by automating several functions, such as menu management.

Seeking to package the capabilities of a full flight simulator into a compact design, Tru Simulation + Training has unveiled a virtual reality-augmented system called the Veris VR Flight Simulator.

My attention was drawn to the cockpit and the EASy III avionics. The system is based on Honeywell’s Primus Epic avionics, as used by other manufacturers but tailored for Dassault as the Enhanced ...

When one thinks of getting into a flight simulator, one assumes that it’ll be from the pilot’s point of view. But this alternative flight simulator takes a different tack, by letting yo… ...
