ITPS CEO, Dave Lohse at the Korean Society of Flight Test Seminar

This week our Chief Executive Officer, Dave ‘Loshy’ Lohse, provided a technical presentation for the second year running at the Annual Korean Society of Flight Test Seminar in Sacheon, South Korea. Entitled ‘Applications of In-flight Variable Stability Simulation in Flight Test Training’, Dave provided an overview of the comprehensive Digital Flight Control Systems (DFCS) syllabus at International Test Pilots School, as well as a technical overview of our L-39C based Advanced Controls Evaluator. ACE is a leading-edge, 4-axis in-flight Variable Stability Simulator (VSS), providing our test pilot and flight test engineer students with hands-on flight test training in modern DFCS Control Law development and associated Handling Qualities evaluation techniques in a high-performance, tandem-seat jet aircraft platform.
