“The Touch CDU app meets that requirement. “Although the FMST has an onscreen CDU which can be operated by mouse or touchscreen with compatible computers, those operators without computer touchscreen capability need an alternate method,” he added. “Many Civil Aviation Agencies require certificate holders to have physical key touch for avionics training compliance, but using a real CDU may not be in the budget,” said Bob Bruce, Universal Avionics Pilot Instructor. It's a perfect complement to any in-house training or familiarization program for Universal Avionics FMS. It provides all of the interactive functionality of a physical FPCDU including data entry, Line Select Key (LSK) selection, and Function Key selection – without the expense of purchasing the physical unit.
Supporting FMST v1.0 and later, the app includes 4” Flat Panel CDU (FPCDU), 5” FPCDU and Multi-functional (MCDU) display options.
