iGATE is an acronym for "integrated General Aviation Training Environment." It is integrated,
meaning that all required digital devices, hardware components and software interface as an
integral part of one system. This is not a new concept as older analogue electromechanical
trainers manufactured in the 70's and 80's were powered by a single electrical source.
The uniqueness is that iGATE trainers with their digital components combine several new
technologies to provide a simulator with state-of-the-art flight dynamics for several types of
aircraft, and other training capabilities at a single training station. A station that can be used
on a desktop or used in an enclosed cockpit environment.
Trainer certification
The iGATE G512 can be upgraded toward JAR STD 3A FNPT I or FNPT II. In case of an
upgrade, the G512 will be modified with a control loading unit, mock up and a Qualification
Test Guide to assure the quality at any time. All Software changes which are related to the
certification are implemented as well.
Flight modeling
The iGATE's precise aerodynamic flight modelling assures that each aircraft's flight
characteristics are predictable and expected. iGATE combines aircraft known "book" data
with data collected from actual aircraft flight tests to form the foundation of each flight model.
The lengthy design process yields an acceptable flight model only after numerous cycles of
testing, refinement, and re-testing. In this particular case, the simulator represents the
