From the first look, you will know that your Flightline Apollo radio stack is different than what you have been used to. You'll be amazed at the accuracy of the modeling of the units within Flight Simulator. And since it is a Flight Simulator gauge, you'll be also surprised at how easy it is to add the Radio Stack and the GPS to your favorite aircraft, and how perfectly the avionics integrates into your aircraft panels.

Built with discriminating pilots in mind, the Flightline Apollo is unequaled in providing the features, level of performance and reliability that flight simulation users require.

Authentic Avionics Simulation

Flightline Apollo: a complete stack

Flightline Apollo represents the next step in simulated Avionics solutions for Flight Simulator 2002. The new offering provide an ultra-realistic simulation of the UPS Aviation Technologies Apollo GX and Slim Line series of avionics products.

The Reality XP avionics simulator delivers enhanced realism, providing a solid training aid for users of the UPS Aviation Technologies avionics.


Enhanced Realism

Flightline Apollo: fits any aircraft

Since its introduction in March 2002, Flightline Apollo has set new standards for Flight Simulator. The Apollo is the most amazing GPS and Radio Stack for Flight Simulator. From the accuracy of the GPS simulation, to the extended list of features and the authenticity of its operating mode, no wonder it is also the only Flight Simulator add-on sealed with the acclaimed UPS Aviation Technologies GPS brand: Apollo


Navigation

Flightline Apollo: a complete stack estimated time enroute to KORD is 3.29min. Distance to
KORD is 9.42nm and we are 0.076nm off-track. The CDI
tells the Desired Track is to our right

Flightline Apollo GPS is a real Navigation Computer with advanced features. You know precisely where you are with map and trip data as you navigate from one place to the other. The Navigation pages are the pilot’s best source for all the needed navigation data and all in one single and convenient place.

There is no safe flight without an accurate depiction of the terrain you are flying over. With its unique Minimum Safe Altitude and Minimum Enroute Safe Altitude, the GPS not only tells you where you are, but also where you are going. Practicing VFR? with the sunrise and sunset page, you'll know if you can reach your destination waypoint before night falls.


Database

Flightline Apollo: a complete stack

Lost with your charts? the GPS is the handy companion for providing accurate and detailed information from its large database. It is a real navaid encyclopedia at your fingertips! From any waypoint, press the INFO key and turn the pages!

Should you need to quickly find an alternate, the Nearest Search function will provide the closest Airports and the GPS will guide you to your choice safely. An Extensive database with up to 200,000 user waypoints, the Flightline Apollo has more to offer than any other navigation solution.


Flight Planning

Flightline Apollo: a complete stack comprehensive moving map with Airport,
Navaid and Airspace display.

Compatible with the Flight Simulator flight plan files, setting up your GPS is a snap: just browse the available files and activate! With its advanced GPSS (GPS Steering) featuring turn anticipation and support for Cross Wind Correction, flying from A to B has never been easier.


Moving Map

Flightline Apollo: a complete stack

The Apollo GPS is the perfect companion for your trips, whether it is a quick trip around your local airport or an entire cross-country adventure. The moving map is the most used and useful feature for situational awareness. With its scale ranging from 0.1 to 250nm, smart keys to declutter the display and the active course line from your flight plan, you'll never say again: where am I?

Flightline Apollo also features a convenient airspace display. Use the Apollo to find the correct ATC frequencies communications and plan your route to your safely to your next destination.


Workoad Reducing Functions

Flightline Apollo: a complete stack contact KORD approach, in COM mode:
retrieve and tune the frequency with 2 keys!

Flight Line Avionics Radio Stack is linked to the GPS to retrieve Airport, ILS and VOR frequencies with a few key presses. You instantly tune your radio to the most needed frequencies at the most needed time in a snap!

During a flight plan following, the next TO waypoint frequencies are automatically updated too!


Advanced Features

Navigation has never been easier with the NAV/COM radio. Its unique graphic CDI provides an automatic scale to accommodate both VOR and LOC precision. Even more, simply press the OBS key twice to auto center the CDI!

For the most demanding pilot, the NAV/COM radio provides an extensive memory of 250 user frequencies, each with its own name and type!

Last but not least, the Audio Panel is a marvelous piece of technology. With its integrated and customizable Aural Warning System, it reminds you of any failure in the Aircraft and Engine systems!
