In the commercial market arena, much attention has been given over the last 3 years to FAA Advisory Circular 120-45A - "The Qualification of Flight Training Devices". The primary focus of this attention has been on Level 4 through Level 6 devices, which replicate a specific aircraft cockpit and are designed to be included within training programs for specific aircraft. Manufacturers of these devices often capture software from a full flight simulator and package the device using common modules (IOS, computer, interfaces, etc.). These Level 3 devices are generally more applicable to flight training schools and the regional airlines. However, they are also well suited to the requirements of the various military services. They meet an ever-increasing demand for low-cost, generic training devices which are applicable to both the military and commercial organizations. This paper discusses the application and technology of the low-end training devices and how they may fill the gap between the very low-cost off-the-shelf solutions and fully-tailored specific training devices (i.e., Levels 4-6). The military applications of these devices will be emphasized to meet the demanding low cost procurements.
