Global Visual System with a 220 degree display system, a high fidelity
sound system, Frasca’s TruFeel electric control loading system,

Instructor Station (GISt™)
and an enhanced Frasca developed debrief station that includes digital
playback of cockpit mounted camera recordings. The FTD was qualifed and

cockpit, wide field of view visual system, type specific flight tested
aerodynamic data, and actual aircraft parts," stated John Frasca, VP,
