Products

Quadrant has developed a

cost effective suite of
proprietary technology
products, aimed at keeping
flight simulators up-to-date
and in line with aircraft
configurations and current
regulations.
IOS
Instructors Operating Station
Quadrant's PC IOS is widely
regarded in the simulation
and training industry as one of
the most powerful and
effective available, providing
comprehensive facilities and
an unrivalled ease of use.
Quadrant has considerable
experience of replacing existing
IOS's including the complex
interface required with the
simulator host computers. The
PC IOS provides capability for
the Instructor to plan, initiate
and control training sessions
and to monitor trainee pilot
performance. The IOS also
controls the selection of
maintenance and diagnostics
facilities on the simulator and
displays the results. The IOS
utilises Quadrant's extensive
experience of installed

completed three months ahead of the
Defence Procurement Agency's (DPA)
schedule. The Training Service is now fully
underway, with high performance
measured and compliments recorded by
the RAF. The E-3D project is estimated by
