Universal Introduces FMS Trainer iPad App

Universal Avionics (Booth No. N6108) is presenting the company’s new FMS control display unit (CDU) emulator iPad application for its FMS Trainer software at this year’s NBAA convention.

The new app supports “life-sized, touch-sensitive” emulation of the Tucson, Ariz.-based company’s four-inch CDU, five-inch CDU and multifunctional CDU, providing operators with realistic training in flight management system (FMS) operations. It sends Universal’s FMS Trainer CDU display screen to the iPad, and key pushes from the simulated CDU are sent back to the FMS Trainer via a wireless network.
