Business Idea: A specialized plugin that enhances flight simulation training by automatically building runway approach paths (RNP APCH LNAV) with multiple segments, ideal for educators, independent consultants, and regulatory bodies seeking cost-effective, high-fidelity training tools.
Problem: Current commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) flight training solutions lack flexible, customizable approach modeling, especially for training, regulatory, and indie consulting needs. This limits realistic scenario creation and cost-effective practice.
Solution: Develop an accessible plugin that creates detailed, configurable RNP APCH (LNAV) approaches, including initial, intermediate, and final segments, with future plans for turn functionalities—serving as an affordable, open-option for flight training and regulation testing.
Target Audience: Flight instructors, independent airline consultants, aviation regulators, flight simulation enthusiasts, and amateur training programs looking for flexible, realistic approach modeling.
Monetization: Generate revenue through plugin sales, subscription plans for ongoing updates, custom approach creation services, and possible licensing to flight training institutions or sim platform providers.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): It’s a customizable, semi-automated approach-building tool tailored for training and regulatory needs, offering a lower-cost alternative to expensive commercial systems, with ongoing development for turns and advanced features.
Launch Strategy: Launch a prototype version for feedback among key users like trainers and regulators, offer free trials, gather real-world input, and develop targeted updates. Promote via aviation forums, social media, and partnerships with flight training communities for initial visibility.
