Check out the cockpit!!

Systems integration is at the core of the PC-21 cockpit design philosophy. As an advanced aircraft, the cockpit display and control system are configured closely to the concept of the latest generation front-line aircraft which are characterised by a greatly increased pilot workload.

Trainee pilots are exposed to a realistic cockpit environment at the earliest stages of their training. This capability enables them to acquire skills that are of direct relevance to the front-line aircraft type and role they are selected.

Equipped with zero/zero ejection seats, a pressurised tandem cockpit, air-conditioning, an anti-g system and On-Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS), the PC-21 provides a comfortable, safe training environment.

Embedded Simulation and Training

The PC-21 not only provides the student with the appropriate tools to learn and develop relevant skills but also the perfect airborne ‘classroom’ for the instructor.
The embedded simulation and training suite provides:

• Cross-platform cockpit emulation
• Weapons simulation
• Stores management system
• Simulated radar and electronic warfare (EW)
• Tactical situational display
• Data link (between similarly equipped aircraft)

The cockpit avionics can be ‘split’ so that the instructor can manipulate the student’s display data. This allows the following capabilities:

• Simulated non-flight safety critical system failures
• Data degradation
• Synthetic air-to-air radar target generation
• Synthetic EW generation

Just a question though- Will IAF pilots transitioning to Russian/French/Indian/European etc planes be compatible with a SWISS trainer? ie MFDs, computers etc? and are the IN also receiving these as part of the same deal as with HAWK AJT?

this will serve as a basic trainer to teach the kids the art of flying!
it wont serve as a fighter conversion aircraft....
