Frasca 142 Flight Synthetic Trainer

Frasca International is a world leading organisation in the manufacture of reliable flight simulators for aviation training. SFTC is excited to announce they have recently acquired one of the only two Frasca flight synthetic trainers at Bankstown Airport with GPS training capability. This is especially important for those who already have, or wish to obtain, their Command Instrument Rating – either single or multi-engine

Our CASA approved synthetic training allows holders of a Command Instrument Rating (CIR) to validate recency (including GPS/NPA) without the need for aircraft hire and the associated costs. Similarly, customers studying for their CIR can gain valuable experience in the Frasca thereby reducing the cost of completing their CIR training solely in an aircraft.
