A state-of-the-art MiG-29K flight simulator has gone operational at INS Dega on Monday. The inauguration was done by Vice Admiral Ajendra Bahadur Singh, Flag-Officer Commanding in-chief of Eastern Naval Command. He said that it is an important milestone towards setting up the naval aviation facilities for the indigenously built Aircraft Carrier INS Vikrant on the Eastern seaboard.
The flight simulator will assist during the training of MiG-29K pilots on all possible types of combat flight missions in all-weather conditions. The simulator complex consists of several modules of which the Full Motion Simulator will provide an immersive experience of the actual flight environment with full-motion capabilities along with an all-around field of view from the cockpit of the aircraft.
Apart from providing options for fundamental and advanced level training, it will also enable simulation of various types of flight emergencies in aircraft handling and flight dynamics. The simulator can also be operative from the deck of INS Vikrant and INS Vikramaditya.
