The Cessna CJ1+ FSTD provides exceptional visual fidelity through a high standard RSI Image Generator and a 220*40° wide field of view and it comes with a suite of specific airport database for more realism during training sessions. Featuring Collins Proline 21 suite, the cost-effective platform is also equipped with advanced avionics such as EGPWS and weather radar, enabling LFT's pilot students to benefit from state-of-the-art technology for the initial part of their training curriculum.
