Executive Flight Training (EFT) is the launch customer for One-G Simulation’s newest flight training device, the One-G Tarbes 8, aimed specifically at TBM 850 aircraft owners and operators. The simulator—installed at EFT's Beaufort, South Carolina facility—offers enhanced fidelity and dynamic training capabilities to improve the skills and safety of pilots flying these turboprop singles.
“Since day one, the One-G team has worked to create productive training solutions aimed at elevating pilot safety and proficiency,” said One-G Simulation CEO Xylon Saltzman. “The Tarbes 8 is our latest example of fulfilling this very mission, offering unparalleled fidelity for TBM 850 pilots.”
The Tarbes 8 is equipped with a model-specific flight deck that features full-scale TBM 850 flight controls, closely replicating the real-world aircraft. The simulator’s instructor operator station enables instructors to create complex training scenarios, including emergency situations, which are essential for developing comprehensive pilot decision-making skills.
The Tarbes 8 simulator is available for integration into flight schools and other training programs. “Clients that trained in our One-G Tarbes 7 were excited to fly the Tarbes 8,” said EFT CEO Douglas Carmody of the company’s fleet expansion. “This advanced training device provides our instructors with the ability to simulate realistic, complex emergencies that you cannot execute in the aircraft. This fosters operational excellence in the cockpit and a safer, more efficiently trained pilot.”
