With proprietary hardware and software, FDS products include support for the latest in glass cockpit equipped commercial airliners, in all major airliner types as well as custom configurations for development, educational, and recently, entertainment/experience venues. As part of my assignment for preparing this review, I had the opportunity to visit the FDS plant in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada in early October, meet with its founders, learn about all their products, and focus on their JetMax product for flight simulator users.įlightdeck Solutions and JetMax facility in Newmarket, Ontarioįor commercial and government customers, FDS offers a variety of products that include Fixed Based Trainers, as well as Single and Dual Seat Training Devices.
