Air Tractor AT-802 ↗Research-based aircraft background

Air Tractor AT-802

The AT-802 carries its working load in a hopper ahead of the cockpit. Its low wing, large turboprop and elevated pilot position reflect its agricultural origins. The same basic platform has been adapted for firefighting and other specialist work.

An agricultural aircraft and an amphibious Fire Boss are distinct configurations. Floats, water collection and delivery equipment change the role as well as the appearance. The simulator products identify their agricultural or firefighting mission equipment.

Airbus A300-600R ↗Research-based aircraft background

Airbus A300-600R

The A300 established Airbus in the airline market during the 1970s. Its broad fuselage and two underwing engines offered a new alternative among large transports. Later developments changed the cockpit, wing details and systems, with the A300-600 becoming a major branch.

Early A300s had a three-person flight deck; later versions used two pilots. The family also became important in freight service. Simulator manuals describe the flight deck and systems of their named A300 variant.
