TAGARS

ZedaSoft delivered a new Piper Malibu M350 flight simulator to the FAA’s Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI).  The flight simulator is a Technically Advanced General Aviation Research Simulator, (TAGARS), which is designed for CAMI’s research into civil human factors and flight safety.

ZedaSoft selected several high-quality companies' products and integrated them into a best-of-breed solution to meet the FAA’s needs.  Precision Flight Controls provided the cockpit, flight controls, and simulated Garmin G1000 hardware.  With assistance from Garmin, ZedaSoft developed a G1000 software simulator and integrated it with the Precision Flight Controls G1000 hardware.  Bihrle Applied Research provided the pilot-validated flight model and aircraft systems models derived from test data.  When combined with CBA, these models are what make the aircraft fly like a Piper Malibu M350.  For the visual suite, ZedaSoft integrated MVRsimulation’s Virtual Reality Scene Generator (VRSG) for use in TAGARS in a projector-dome deployment to provide the out-the-window visual systems.
