What We Do
The Most Technically Demanding Room in Aviation
A full-flight simulator bay is one of the most technically demanding spaces in aviation infrastructure. The structural loading requirements of a Level D FFS on its motion platform, the HVAC precision needed to maintain simulator operating temperatures, the UPS and power conditioning demands of sensitive avionics systems, the acoustic isolation requirements and the IOS room layout standards set by EASA CS-FSTD every element must be engineered to specification, and every element is interdependent.
Vector Technorium designs simulator centres and FSTD bays with a level of technical specificity that reflects the precision the equipment demands. We work with the simulator OEMs’ technical requirements from the outset ensuring the building is designed around the simulator, not adapted to accommodate it after the fact.
Our Scope
What We Deliver
Simulator Bay Structural Design
Structural loading design for FFS motion platform foundations dynamic load analysis, vibration isolation, slab thickness and reinforcement specification to OEM technical requirements and EASA CS-FSTD standards.
HVAC & Environmental Control
Precision HVAC design for simulator bays temperature, humidity and airflow control within the tight tolerances required by FFS avionics and visual systems, coordinated with OEM environmental specifications.
UPS & Power Infrastructure
Uninterruptible power supply system design, power conditioning, earthing and electrical distribution for sensitive simulator equipment ensuring power quality and continuity to EASA CS-FSTD requirements.
IOS Room & Instructor Facilities
Instructor operating station room design, observation windows, debriefing rooms and instructor rest facilities configured for the operational workflow of approved training organisation check and training programmes.
Acoustic Isolation Design
Noise isolation design for simulator bays structural isolation, acoustic lining specifications and vibration break design ensuring simulator operation does not affect adjacent spaces or neighbouring occupants.
Simulator Centre Masterplan
Multi-bay simulator centre masterplanning bay sequencing, shared briefing and debrief facilities, technical support rooms, crew rest areas and future expansion provisions for growing ATO operations.
Who We Serve
Built for Simulator Operators & Training Organisations
Our simulator centre design practice serves airline operators establishing dedicated type rating and recurrent training centres, independent ATOs commissioning standalone simulator facilities, full-flight simulator manufacturers requiring specialist building design support for customer simulator centre installations, flight training organisations expanding from ab initio into simulator-based advanced training, and aviation infrastructure construction companies delivering FSTD facility projects who need a specialist design partner with genuine simulator centre expertise.
Why Vector Technorium
Engineered to the Millimetre
FSTD-Specific Technical Knowledge
Simulator centre design requires knowledge of EASA CS-FSTD structural, environmental and electrical requirements that most building designers do not possess. We do and it shows the quality of our technical outputs.
OEM Coordination from Day One
We engage with the simulator of OEM’s technical requirements at the start of the design process, not at the end. The result is a building that the OEM can install without costly site modifications.
Certification-Ready Design
EASA CS-FSTD and ICAO simulator qualification standards built into every bay we design, so the regulatory authority inspection is a formality, not a risk to your training programme launch date.
Interdisciplinary Integration
Structural, HVAC, electrical, acoustic and fit-out disciplines must be fully coordinated in a simulator bay a single coordination failure can delay OEM installation. We manage that integration with the precision it demands.
