About Otto Fahsig EDV

Otto Fahsig EDV produces instrument flight training devices for general aviation, intended for professional use, for example in simulator instruction at flight schools. The devices are known under the designations FTD (Flight Training Device), PCATD (PC-based Aviation Training Device) and BITD (Basic Instrument Training Device) and hold approvals as well as recommendations from numerous European aviation authorities. In addition, the company develops the corresponding aviation software (LAS) and offers services such as software updates and reprogramming, for example reprogramming chips in the LBE-4 to resolve operating issues. As early as 1984, the trade magazine Aerokurier published the first press report on a Fahsig IFR trainer. The company is run by Otto Fahsig and is based in Ainring near Salzburg.
