Simulators on every continent – except Antarctica
Alteon has built a global network of training centers to support airline training needs. With full flight simulators for more than 20 models of commercial aircraft, airlines look to Alteon for all their simulator training needs. Regularly updated, Alteon simulators replicate the aircraft and host scores of specific airport models. Many simulators are configurable to the customers pin selectable options and allow customer navigation databases to be loaded. Alteon is also introducing flat panel trainers at many training centers to support an integrated training approach.

Why are flat panel trainers good for training?
A full flight simulator is designed to present a realistic environment to the pilot so he or she can learn to manage the aircraft in its entirety. A flat panel trainer is particularly effective for training a single, often procedural or technical issue. When attempting that singular focus in a full flight simulator, trainers are asking the pilot to depart from what he or she knows is their primary task -- safe overall operation.

Lower level flight training devices are clearly not the aircraft. The lack of realistic flight controls and full screen visuals allows both student and instructor to focus on isolated issues. In addition, since the best of these devices also have the capability to display synoptic system operation, the impact and retention of data is greatly increased.

Alteon is committed to increase training quality and efficiency. With flat panel trainers, we can decrease the amount of time spent in full flight devices and increase the quality of the training.
