Aviation Training Devices

Medallion's state-of-the-art Aviation Training Devices (ATDs), which are available for use at locations throughout the State, enable Medallion Participants to realistically practice flying skills, including cockpit scan, emergency and instrument approach procedures, as well as visual navigation throughout Alaska and the “Lower 48.” The ATDs also provide an excellent resource for evaluating deteriorating VFR conditions, and application of pre-planned avoidance/escape maneuvers. Instruction on how to operate Medallion's ATD hardware and software is provided during Flyer Orientation training. The instruction also explains how to schedule ATDs using Medallion's internet web site, and procedures for contacting Medallion Volunteer Instructors.

A further description of our ATDs may be found on the ATD/Simulator Description
page.

Attention Medallion Flyer Participants!

 

The required two hour one-on-one training block on the ATD setup and usage may be conducted with one of Medallion's Volunteer Counselors. They must be contacted by you personally and arrangements made with one of these simulator counselors to provide this initial certification. A list of current volunteer instructors and their contact information is available on the Foundation's web site at Volunteer Counselors under the "GA Program" icon along the top of the page. If you have any questions, or problems scheduling, feel free to the Training Center: 907.743.8050.

Thank you,

Medallion Staff
