Introduction

Tricom Technologies is a leading supplier of low-cost, fully-freeplay simulations to the aviation and training industry.  Products that bridge the simulation gap between traditional low-end CBT and the expensive fixed-base and Full Flight Simulators (FFS) used by the airline training organizations and flight schools. Through consultation with a variety of airline customers and subject matter experts, Tricom identified the need for truly freeplay simulations offered at a truly affordable price.

Description

Simulations produced by Tricom Technologies are generally PC-based and are highly configurable. They are offered ranging from the desktop simulation-based Computer Based Training (CBT) variety with all 2D simulated components, through to the complete FAA level 4/5 Flight Training Device (FTD) and Maintenance Training Device (MTD) variety with all 3D tactile components.  All our products can be easily configured to any variety required to meet our customer's specific training objectives and requirements. 

Further, Tricom continues to expand its capabilities with the development of industry leading Maintenance training focused simulations and an ever broadening feature set, product mix and simulation library.
