This simulator provides the simulation features required by military and civilian professional aviation academies, flight schools and instructors to teach and evaluate aircraft control techniques in addition to VFR and IFR procedures, aircraft systems, normal and emergency procedures that are the domain of other FlyThisSim products.
Engineered to be the best value BATD the TouchTrainer FM 100 Flight Simulator provides an ergonomic single seat, open cockpit with aviation headset communications, audio simulation, on board instructor’s station and a massive 32 square feet of wrap around visual display that makes it the simulator to bring students to your school and keep them coming.
Designed to be introduced in the first stages of a pilot’s aviation experience integrating ground school, aircraft control skills, and procedure training immediately from the first instructional session. Use the FM 100 in your curriculum to teach basic and advanced procedures, hovering techniques, hover taxi, transition to flight as well as advanced subjects like settling under power, auto-rotations and run on landings.
Installed in homes, hangars, military locations, flight schools and palaces. No one else provides a flight simulator with this much power or presence.
The TouchTrainer FM is a very high performance, FAA approved BATD floor mounted flight simulator complete with all software and physical controls, screens, computer hardware, single seat open cockpit, communications system, audio system and assembly tools. A true turnkey system for your home, hangar, flight school or academy.
The TouchTrainer can simulate Robinson R22 and R44 with five individual cockpits with Aspen, Garmin G500H and analog flight decks. With the TouchTrainer there is no such thing as generic aircraft simulation thanks to our unique FAA Approval to use touch screens and our own SimAVIO software. All of this sotechniques, performance, procedures and proficiency learned in the TouchTrainer are directly transferrable to the aircraft.
Download Cockpit DatasheetTime spent flying the TouchTrainer can be logged towards private and instrument training as well as instrument currency. But its use is not restricted to these items, the TouchTrainer can be used to hone normal and emergency procedures, your knowledge of your aircraft and perform realistic mission rehearsal with live air traffic control and practice using your Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) as you would in the aircraft.
Learn MoreThe FTS TouchTrainer FM gives you instrumentation, PFD, MFD, analog instrumentation and avionics simulations ready to enter and fly flight plans, load and fly approaches and missed approaches. The secret of instrument flying is to be ready for what is going to happen next, use the TouchTrainer to master your avionics and anticipate the future.
Watch VideoThe FTS TouchTrainer FM (Floor Mount) 100 flight simulator boasts a large 100 degree wide wrap around visual system composed of six aligned 60" high definition monitors and an unmatched advanced dedicated graphics hardware subsystem, it induces more accurate motion cues and image flows as the simulator is maneuvered without expense, safety, maintenance and support costs of lesser results with a motion platform.
Learn More See it yourselfA multi-channel Bose audio system provides aircraft engine and systems sounds, while avionics aural warnings and tones are fed through the aviation headsets to feed important non-visual cues to the student from battery switch on to shut down, which has increased student immersion within the simulation.
A dual headset communications system with side tone, individual squelch and volume controls provided for student to pilot communication, connectivity to voice over IP air traffic control simulation and avionics alerts.
Learn moreConnect to live Air Traffic Controllers who use standard phraseology to get your IFR clearances and control. An essential feature for completing IFR training and cross county practice.
Learn moreConnect to your FlyThisSim TouchTrainer with your EFB loaded on an iPad so it can provide correlated real time movement, orientation and position data enabling real world training using the tools you fly with.
Learn moreThe FM 100 comes powered by our most powerful simulation computer technology using the latest specially selected off the shelf motherboards, memory, processors and video cards with the performance to compute and draw 1.1 Billion pixels per second. This means the computer system is reliable, runs cool, and is maintainable, repairable and upgradable for the life of the simulator. In the rare case the system becomes misconfigured it can be remotely administered and serviced by FlyThisSIm.
Attention to design and the use of low power consumption components means no special power or cooling requirements. The FM 100 runs on less than 2 kw total and may be connected to a domestic 120v supply. Light weight components require no special floor strengthening or other requirements. TouchTrainer FM 100 customers have installed their systems personally or FlyThisSim can professionally install. It usually takes them no more than three hours. With a little installation work our TouchTrainer FM 100 can be installed in a room with a standard 30” door.

FlyThisSim TouchTrainers run on our native SimAVIO simulation framework software and utilizes X-Plane's simulation engine for the visual system, flight and engine model. X-Plane provides one of the most realistic simulation foundations available for general aviation use. It offers an endless amount of upgradable features and add-ons and FlyThisSim offers support to assist in finding and installing them making your TouchTrainer much more enticing to fly.
Learn MoreConnect to your FlyThisSim TouchTrainer with your EFB loaded on your iPad. Once your iPad is connected to our TouchTrainer, the simulator starts to feed real time data on movement and location to your ForeFlight application. Real-time weather, simulator correlation, providing real world training using the tools you fly with.
Learn MoreTouchscreen Instructor Operations System (TIOS) is an on-board or remote simulator control system enabling user monitoring and simulation control for all TouchTrainers. The TIOS is available as an integral part of the TouchTrainer, residing on a secondary touch monitor instructor station or as an Extended TIOS running on a separate tablet wirelessly connected to the simulator.
All FTS flight simulators are approved by the FAA. This allows pilots and student pilots to log a defined number of hours during flight training or to maintain instrument currency.
