One-G simulation Unveils 1G-IOS Instructor Station

one-g simulation is releasing its new instructor operating station, the 1G-IOS, which corresponds to the company’s FAA approved AATD fleet. Designed by pilots and software engineers, the 1G-IOS trains pilots on the ground in a whole new way.

SEATTLE - Seattle flight simulation developer, one-G simulation, is unveiling its new instructor operating station, the 1G-IOS. Built with a web-based design interface, the 1G-IOS enhances the usability of one-G simulation's Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) fleet by giving flight instructors and their students an unrivaled training tool.

one-G's training devices are physical full-scale enclosures allegiant to the cockpits of specific general aviation models such as the Cessna 172, the Beechcraft Bonanza, and the Socata TBM. The 1G-IOS integrates with these training devices and allows the instructor to create complex scenario-based training situations, such as mechanical failures, geographic positioning, and different weather patterns.

one-G simulation CEO Xylon Saltzman said the IOS provides the instructor with precise and convenient control for all instructional aspects available on the one-G AATD fleet, and does so with a versatile, touch-based user interface that works on wireless tablets and traditional desktop consoles. The interface also allows instructors to rapidly reposition the aircraft and track the student's cockpit instruments, avionics status, and position relative to any navigation fix.

"We recognized the value in building a platform agnostic interface, something that can grow with the ever-changing device market," said Saltzman, a seasoned flight instructor. "It is unparalleled in its simplicity, feature-rich functionality, and performance."

one-G simulation General Manager Aaron Erbeck said he frequently gives demonstrations of how the IOS operates on the included wireless tablet.

"I just hand them the tablet and say 'Go' - the (flight) instructors are amazed. I hear them say: 'It's so easy', 'It's intuitive - you guys thought of everything'. It's really satisfying to get that kind of feedback," said Erbeck. "Flight instruction is challenging enough. These guys deserve better tools."

The IOS includes a complete host of tools that will make administrative tasks such as discrepancy tracking, student logging, and billing more efficient for instructors and flight schools. The administrative tools are accessible through a secure online portal. For more information, visit www.flyone-g.com.
