RT600 Mission Simulator

RT600 Mission Simulator mod overview

The RT600 Mission Simulator System (“System”) product consists of a Display Control Unit (DCU) Trainer, the RT600 Mission Simulator System Software (“System Software”) and a System User Guide. The System includes two main functions: the Instructor Station and the Student Station.  The Instructor Station allows the Instructor to position the ELT on a VFR Sectional Chart, select either a VHF (e.g. 121) or 406 MHz ELT, vary signal & noise levels and “fly” the aircraft for ELT prosecution.  The Student Station monitor provides the student a HSI display and aircraft lat/lon position.
