RealSims,LLC is a US Veteran owned Small Business formed in 2002 and is based in Sanford Florida. The company was formed under charter to build helicopter simulators under contract with the US Navy (NAVAIR Orlando Fl). This contract called for the company to propose a unique new design for small foot print re-configurable part task trainers to be used for military helicopter pilot training. The result of this co-development effort was a ruggized, modular Flight Training Device (FTD) that could accept interchangeable instrument consoles/panels and ruggedized flight control options for helicopter and fixed wing aircraft. In 2006 the company was awarded a US Utility Patent on this design which it currently markets under the Brand Name "FASTRAC RECONFIGURABLE SIMULATOR". Over the years the company has provided product to several government prime contractors such as Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, JF Taylor, Northrup Grumman. In addition, we have won lead on contracts with the US Navy and US Army.
The company has fabrication and manufacturing facilities at the Sanford International Airport in Sanford Florida. Our machine shop operation includes three CNC Machines and two CNC Lathes.
The company recently joined forces with Avion Air Academy located in adjacent facilities to our fabrication shops. Avion uses RealSims FTD's and AFTD for the administration of advanced commercial pilot training for twin turbine, jet and helicopter flight training.
