Training centers
Within the framework of the Tu-204CM project new trends in using training flight simulators have become evident such as training aids united by computer nets into training complexes (TC) and multilevel ones.
The automated training systems within the training computer classes serve for a theoretical training;
The procedure simulators are the aids for primary and main practical on-ground simulator) training to prepare crews for executing particular flight procedures;
Complex simulators serve to master the aircraft at all flight modes.
The complex and step-by-step using of the above said training aids helps in training the flight crews on the ground practically without using real aircraft.
