    Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

    The School of Transport Engineering, Environment & Planning in the College of

    Engineering and Built Environment, DIT Bolton Street, requires two (2) Airbus

    A320 Virtual Maintenance Trainers (VMT’s) for its core facilities to enhance its

    aviation technologies activities. Delivery, installation and commissioning of the

    A320 VMT software will it is planned take place at the DIT Aviation Technology

    Centre, Unit C 3B, Airport Business Park, Co. Dublin. Support services for the

    VMT are expected for a 12 month period.

    The VMT’s will allow DIT to simulate a typical modern aircraft using appropriate

    hardware and licenced software. A VMT for a typical modern wide bodied aircraft

    allows access to a virtual cockpit with the ability to simulate typical modern

    airframe systems and avionics systems such as Flight Management Systems

    (FMS), auto-pilot and glass cockpit common display systems such as Electronic

    Flight Instrument Systems (EFIS).VMT’s will also facilitate simulation of Central

    Maintenance Computing function (CMCF) on a typical modern aircraft allowing

    Built in Test Equipment (BITE) simulation of the aircraft’s system.

    A VMT is the ideal solution for where access to the real aircraft is restricted, for

    the student to perform trouble shooting exercises, access to BITE, LRU

    replacement and experience what is happening with the system in real time with

    associated active schematics.
