Platinum Simulators Inc. – Safety, Compliance, and Regulatory Oversight
Platinum Simulators Inc. operates under a Safety First philosophy with a primary focus on regulatory compliance, configuration control, and the continued airworthiness-equivalent integrity of its Flight Training Devices (FTDs) and Advanced Aviation Training Devices (AATDs). The company’s owners and engineering leadership bring more than 30 years of experience in the design, development, and manufacture of FAA-evaluated flight simulation and training equipment. This experience includes the development of a patented motion system engineered to accurately replicate aircraft handling qualities and control response in accordance with FAA evaluation criteria for helicopter and fixed-wing training devices.
Platinum Simulators designs and manufactures generic and aircraft-specific simulators, mobile trailer-based simulators, classroom training devices, and single-seat simulators. All systems are engineered, assembled, and tested in Carlsbad, California, using documented manufacturing practices and controlled processes intended to support FAA qualification and recurrent evaluation requirements. Each device is delivered in a defined baseline configuration to support configuration management, repeatability, and regulatory traceability throughout the operational life of the system.
Platinum Simulators places specific emphasis on configuration control and change management. Hardware and software elements that directly affect flight characteristics, control loading, motion cueing, and aircraft performance are managed to ensure continued compliance with the applicable FAA qualification basis. Any changes to these elements are evaluated for regulatory impact and, where applicable, coordinated with the FAA to prevent invalidation of an existing Letter of Authorization (LOA).
In support of continued operational compliance, Platinum Simulators provides technical support, replacement parts, and approved upgrade pathways designed to maintain device conformity with its original FAA-evaluated configuration. The company also offers ongoing support for existing owners of FLYIT simulators, including parts availability, technical assistance, and modernization options structured to preserve training credit eligibility and regulatory acceptance.
Through disciplined engineering practices, documented configuration management, and long-term customer support, Platinum Simulators Inc. demonstrates a sustained commitment to FAA compliance, training device safety, and the integrity of pilot training conducted on its simulators.
