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 08

TCAS II Quadrant constantly monitor the international aviation industry to track systems which are becoming mandatory around the world. This enables us to react rapidly and meet new requirements for our customers. We were one of the first companies in the world to introduce a fully simulated Version 7 TCAS system (as shown below in our test harness.) Main Picture: IOS development
