ETC Successfully Completed Acceptance Testing of Pilot Physiology Training Center for RSAF

ETC announced the completion of Pilot Physiology Training Center, sold to the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) through ETC's Aircrew Training Systems (ATS) business unit.

The RSAF is committed to the professional development and safety of their pilots through modernization of its aviation physiology training program.

This turnkey aeromedical center includes four high performance trainers further described below:

ETC's G-LAB Motion Platform High-G Trainer

G-LAB: The G-LAB Motion Platform is a basic high-G trainer, generating sustained G forces up to 15G with an approximate onset rate of 8 G/sec from 1.2 G (idle level). For training applications, the G-LAB Motion Platform is designed to provide refresher as well as initial tolerance training. For research applications, the G-LAB Motion Platform is the ideal unit to support acceleration physiology research.

ETC's GYRO-IPT: Gyro Integrated Physiological Trainer

GYRO-IPT: The Gyro Integrated Physiological Trainer, Generation II, provides pilots with a hands-on, realistic, spatial disorientation training experience. During simulated flight, a pilot can experience a variety of real world disorienting illusions.

Altitude Chamber: The effects of high altitude are a constant consideration in all types of aviation. To support this training, ETC manufactures a complete line of Altitude Training Chambers. Dual control systems (computerized and manual) optimize training safety and efficiency.

Night Vision Training: The basic Night Vision Training System (NVTS) combines academic instruction with interactive demonstrations to optimize a pilots’ ability to see at night without the use of night vision devices. Basic and advanced techniques are covered, and various low and no light situations are simulated.

ETC is proud to be the supplier of state-of-the-art aviation physiology training equipment to the RSAF.
