Learning FliteDeck with the GPS Simulator Trainer

You can use the FliteDeck GPS simulator trainer to emulate GPS position data input
for testing and practice. When you enable the GPS simulator in the FliteDeck Setup

Program, a GPS Sim Trainer controller floats over the FliteDeck program.

Changing the Simulator Status

To turn the simulator on or off, click Sim on the GPS Sim Trainer, or press ENTER
when the GPS Sim Trainer is active.

• When the simulator is Off, the aircraft symbol on the enroute chart and

within the Profile View displays in red, simulating a GPS not sending valid
position information to FliteDeck.

• When the simulator is On, the aircraft symbol displayed on the enroute chart

uses your direct input to simulate heading, speed, vertical speed and altitude.
