Simulator training provider SimCom has installed a Daher Socata TBM 850 flight training device at its Orlando, Florida training centre.

The system features the single-engined turboprop's Garmin G1000 integrated cockpit and new high-resolution visual system, which offers day/dawn/dusk/night or continuous time of day operation.

It features more than 15,000 light points per channel with 2.5-arc-minute resolution and uni- and bi-directional light point lobe patterns.

"Its location on the US south Atlantic coast centrally positions the simulator for TBM 850 operators throughout North America - which is the single largest geographic market for the very fast turboprop aircraft, as well as for customers in Latin and Central America," says Socata.
