ABSTRACT

In this article, we dissertate about processes necessary for the certification of the flight simulator device. Recent changes in legislative provide new possibilities to obtain a flight and navigation procedures trainer without the need for purchasing on-key solution. On the contrary, the construction of such device brings some issues and limitations that we stressed. In the second part, we estimate the budget necessary for the construction of such device and try to mark several important steps that will occur during the construction and certification process. We pointed out several legislative regulations and processes based on the Czech national legislative. However, because of deep harmonization in this area, this article may be useful for any EASA member state. In Section 6, we describe another possibility of an artificial training device, including the limitations of such solutions. We also provide readers with some basic estimates about possible savings and costs to suggest the optional flight simulator solution for an individual operator.
