    Posted by John McHaleCEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa 29 Sept. 2010. Rockwell Collins delivered its Virtual Avionics Procedures Trainer (VAPT) system to Corporate Aircraft SA, an authorized dealer of Hawker Beechcraft aircraft, for an unnamed operator. The device will train pilots flying King Air aircraft, which are equipped with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. The VAPT system is based on Rockwell Collins' simulation architecture and features a modular, expandable and configurable combination of commercial-off-the-shelf technology, PC-based hardware and Rockwell Collins' re-hosted avionics software. This combination simplifies future upgrades without expensive hardware modifications and allows the VAPT to support multiple aircraft platforms and software configurations, Rockwell Collins officials say. "The VAPT is a highly cost-effective solution with embedded avionics software that provides greater fidelity and more realistic procedures training than desktop systems," says Ken Schreder, vice president and general manager of Simulation & Training Solutions for Rockwell Collins.
