The TRC3000 CABRIO C172G flight simulator is a compact replica of a Cessna 172, while maintaining the correct panel measurements. It comes with real replicated instruments, instead of projected  LCD instruments behind a panel. It is very difficult to tell the difference between the inside of a real Cessna 172 and the panel of the TRC3000 CABRIO C172G Flight Simulator.

When taking your seat inside the TRC3000 CABRIO C172G flight simulator, the student will step into an actual aircraft, with all instruments, knobs and controls on the location where you should expect them, instead of a generic cockpit with a panel that doesn’t resemble an actual plane. The resemblance between the real aircraft panel and the TRC3000 CABRIO C172G panel is so striking, that you can hardly tell the difference between the both of them. Instead of making use of LCD screens to project the instruments behind holes in a panel, the TRC3000 CABRIO C172G flight simulator contains real instruments that behave and can be controlled exactly like in the real aircraft. The TRC3000 CABRIO C172G flight simulator system teaches the student to operate an aircraft, rather than a flight simulator.

The panel of the TRC Simulators model TRC3000 CABRIO C172G is based on the dimensions and layout of a Cessna 172 production single engine aircraft. This closely represents the overall functionality, performance, avionics, and instrumentation. The platform consists of a cockpit section, instructor’s control station, visual display system and an audio system. It incorporates a combination of hardware and software components that is assembled and checked by TRC Simulators. All hardware elements are permanently installed and designed so the cockpit has the appearance and feel of an actual aircraft. From the pilot’s seated position, there are no computer hardware elements such as keyboards, pointing devices, etc. for his or her use.

The TRC3000 CABRIO C172G provides realistic and true-to-scale panel design, avionics, and reliable hardware/software performance in an open cockpit environment, able to be placed inside any normal office space. This platform also provides an effective training environment for student and certificated pilots. This includes the capability of practicing scenario based flight training events, simulated equipment failure and emergency procedures, pilot evaluations, instrument procedures/ experience, and facilitating increased pilot proficiency overall.

Optionally the TRC3000 CABRIO C172G Flight Simulator does not only come with Instructor Station software to control the aircraft, the weather, the position of the aircraft, engine failures and much more. It also comes with our own Instructor suite to control the gauges and instruments, but also to keep track of the progress of your students, including recorded flight, log books and much more to discuss the training progress with your students.
