A320 FMS Trainer

CNFSimulator.A320 FMS Product Specification (PDF)

Product Overview

The CNFSimulator.A320 Flight Management Trainer (#A320FMS) is an integrated training device for A320 flight management and auto-flight training. Built around the first-officer position, it follows real-aircraft operating logic and integrates the flight management, display and control units on one bench.

Modular and flexibly configured, it can be integrated into IPT/FTD/FNPT simulators, and also suits A320 system teaching and individual learning.

Key Features

(1) Modular Design, Complete Configuration
The trainer is modular: FCU, MCDU, TQ, sidestick, pedals and display are independent units, combinable as needed and configured before delivery.

(2) Control Functions the Training Requires
A dedicated general control panel gathers landing gear, flaps and slats, spoilers and parking brake — functions a conventional panel does not cover.

(3) Real-Aircraft Operating Logic and Feel
Controls follow A320 appearance, dimensions and logic; the 32-position FCU encoder, MCDU keypad, throttle detents and pedal damping are tuned to real feel.

(4) Professional Materials and Finish
Panels use professional light-guide material in real-aircraft colours; FCU, MCDU and TQ have backlit legends and status indicators.

(5) Software-Driven, Plug and Play
iFSim.Ready handles device detection, signal testing and backlight control; several MCDUs can work together over a local network.

(6) Professional Integration and Individual Learning
The high-performance configuration integrates into IPT/FTD/FNPT simulators; as a stand-alone set it also suits individual learning.

Training Subjects

(1) Flight Management System Practice
MCDU set-up for cockpit and descent preparation; lateral and vertical functions such as OFFSET, HOLD, ALTN and DIR.

(2) Auto-Flight System Practice
SPD, HDG and ALT knobs with AP and A/THR; EFIS panel; FMA logic and mode transitions.

(3) Instrument and Indication System Practice
PFD and ND interpretation and use of the FD; ILS precision approach and VOR / LOC non-precision approach procedures.

(4) Comprehensive Instrument Flight Procedure Practice
With the FCU and MCDU panels, the quick instructor station and the flaps/slats, landing gear and engine-parameter indication panels, trainees run a complete IF procedure from take-off through approach to landing.

Component Description

(1) Flight Control Unit (FCU)
Aluminium alloy and PMMA with a professional coating; original heavy-duty 32-position push-pull digital encoders with powder-coated metal knobs; the altitude knob is dual concentric (×100 / ×1000), with backlit legends and indicators.

(2) Multipurpose Control and Display Unit (MCDU)
PMMA with a professional surface coating; positive-action hard keys in the real-aircraft layout with adjustable backlight; FAIL and MSG indicators; the built-in display is 800 × 600, and mounting screws are M4 with DZUS-style heads.

(3) General Control Panel (GCP)
PMMA with a professional coating; two-position toggles simulate the gear lever, three-position self-centring switches simulate flaps/slats and spoilers, two-position rockers simulate the parking brake; metal handles give a positive feel.

(4) Throttle Quadrant (TQ)
Aluminium frame, rigid enough to withstand transport shock; levers use an anti-static coating; motorised trim wheels are direct-driven without a gearbox; software-driven backlighting, engine mode switches, fire and fault annunciators and metal detents.

(5) First-Officer Sidestick
The grip is 3D printed from scan data of the real part; a five-spring system gives smooth, linear force with no dead zone; PTT and AP-disconnect buttons are fitted, and a 16-bit three-axis Hall sensor gives precise control.

(6) Rudder Pedals (one side)
Steel structure with a professional surface coating; pedal faces and pads are rubber covered; carbon-fibre dampers with adjustable damping bring rudder feel closer to the real aircraft; the unit stands directly on the floor with no under-floor mechanism.

Software and Simulation

The product builds FMS functionality on mainstream simulation platforms and aircraft models — iFSim A320, ProSim A320, ToLiss A320, Fenix A320 and Jeehell A320 — with performance, systems and fly-by-wire models integrated.

(1) Quick Instructor Station
From one interface the instructor sets the departure airport, take-off runway and other items and puts the aircraft into the ready-to-train state; the flaps/slats, landing gear and engine-parameter panels keep the configuration visible.

(2) Visual System
Based on X-Plane and compatible with P3D, it covers runway, taxiways and surrounding scenery for approach and landing.
