1.3.1 Cockpit
version
Actual aircraft hardware components are not used – except for the Garmin 430 GPS option.
Factors which have resulted in the use of replicas include:
a) Cost
b) Reliability - Aircraft use is more restrictive (e. g. airworthiness) than STD use.
c) Ease of Maintenance - Maintenance access is necessarily different from the aircraft.
d) Availability - Many aircraft components have unacceptable long lead times leading
to delays in FNPT delivery.
1.3.2 Instructor Station
The instructor station, consisting of two 17” TFT Flat screens will give the instructor access
to the following functions:
� Environment conditions
� Aircraft status
� Freeze selection
� Repositions
� Pre-selection of environmental conditions
� Malfunction selection
� Selection of visual conditions
� Navigation area selection
� Simulated ATC communication with the cockpit crew
� Selection of initial conditions
� FNPT & QTG control page
� Visual setup page
1.3.3 Dynamic Control Loading
The dynamic control loading system provides the pilot and copilot with a precise, repeatable
control force and natural control response. A safety system is implemented, to protect both
the user and the hardware from equipment failures and human error.
1.3.4 External Visual System
The standard one channel projection system provides a generic representation of the terrain
and conforms to the JAR STD 3A requirements for FNPT II and FNPT II MCC. For more
details refer to chapter 9.1.
1.3.5 Computer System

2.1.3.11 Primary Flight Controls
The standard Elite Evolution S923 FNPT II MCC Yokes is based on a generic design and
features an electric pitch trim switch and flight director engage / disengage button for both
Yokes. The Yokes do not cover A/P disconnect push buttons. Two stop watches and chart
holders are placed in the centre of each yoke.
2.2 Instrument Panel Technical Realization
All primary and secondary instruments for the Pilot and Copilot are drawn on TFT displays.
The appearance to the flight crew is similar to the aircraft. All instruments are displayed
close to actual size. Buttons, controls and switches are located according to above (chapter
2.1.3) layout. The instruments are not dimmable except for the Avionics rack.
2.3 Simulated Instruments
All simulated instruments are basically operational as in the aircraft. Instrument face
markings, including graduations, pointers and flags are reproduced as authentically as
possible according to the actual aircraft instruments.
In some cases, instruments or parts of instruments differ in background colour. As an
example, the VSI background colour is slightly brighter than the background colour of the
altimeter. As well, in some cases the manufacturer of original hardware equipment might
provide a choice of different colours. As an example, the flight director can be either green or
magenta. In such cases, Elite has chosen one of the listed colours. Changes in colour, size
and shape of instruments or changes on the standard cockpit layout, will require new
technical drawings along with a confirmation of it’s feasibility. The manufacturer will provide
an additional offer, covering the changes according to the specifications agreed upon.
2.4 Optional aircraft (non MCC)
The Elite Evolution S923 FNPT II MCC can additionally be configured in one of the following
aircraft configurations:
� Arrow IV
� Baron 58
� Bonanza A36
� Cessna 172 RG
� Seneca III
Aircraft configuration change is easily done by replacing control heads and screen masks
and can be effected in less than 15 minutes. At software launch, the respective model is
loaded. Each of the listed models can be qualified according to FNPT II standards.

7.1.3 Data and Technology
version
7.1.3.1 Digital Terrain Models
Elevation data of global coverage, based on a 1 km resolution grid, is used for the terrain
representation. Based on this data, elevations may differ from actual values due to
interpolation effects. Airport elevation for the 5 airports selected as main training fields will be
within +/- 50 ft of ARP elevation.
If higher accuracy is required, the manufacturer will acquire elevation data with higher
resolution and will locally densify the global model. As like with RealView the customer
shall specify his training requirements. Please contact an Elite Sales representative to
discuss further details.
7.1.3.2 Standard Database GenView
GenView displays the landscape based on generic textures. Geographic features such as
lakes, rivers, urban areas, railroads or streets are represented using vector data. The
runway environment consists of approach lights, centerline lights, edge lights, PAPI / VASI
according to Nav Data specifications. Due to the high amount of above mentioned facilities
in each database, the position of the taxiways as well as the lighting of the taxiways (green
for centerline, blue for edge lights) are drawn generically.

7.1.3.3 Optional Database RealView
The Real View External Visual System is based on the ViRGIS project (Virtual Reality
Geographic Information System) by the Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. The aim of
ViRGIS is the real-time visualisation of large geographic datasets. Accordingly, RealView
External Visual System creates a realistic model of the geographic scenery by utilising digital
elevation models and satellite images as geospecific textures. By using data of different
sensors with different geometric properties (i. e. Landsat Thematic Mapper data with 25 m,
SPOT 3 / 4 data with 10 m or even Aerial Photographs with down to 1 m geometric
resolution) user‘s needs can be taken into account.
A complex “level of detail” concept is required to cope with the large amounts of data
required for this approach. Both the terrain model and the satellite textures are adapted to
achieve the best image quality without compromising excellent system performance.
