How much will it cost to have a motion simulation exhibit installed?
The complete motion simulation exhibit is typically provided and operated turnkey for the institution with zero financial commitment or investment.
What is the price for admission for patrons who wish to participate in the motion simulation experience?
The price is typically between $4 - $6 for a 5 minute motion simulation experience. The exact price is determined by mutual consent between the institution and Flight Avionics. The admission price can be made flexible for special groups and after hours events.
What is the institution obligated to do?
There is no obligation on the part of the institution. Simply point to an area within your institution with concrete and electrical access and we handle the entire project from there, including engineering and design, installation, operations, maintenance, and project capitalization.
How is profit distributed annually from the operation of a Flight Avionics motion simulation exhibit?
Typically the profit from the motion simulation exhibit is distributed monthly based on the following formula: 50% of the net profit is distributed to the institution from the operation during each annual operating period. Payments are made to the institution on a monthly basis by the twentieth of each month based on the net profit for the previous month. In some cases Flight Avionics will offer a lease of equipment to smaller institutions.
What is the order of events for having a Flight Avionics motion simulation exhibit installed at my institution?
Institution Interest: If you and/or other decision makers at your institution are interested in seriously exploring this opportunity further, then a simple phone call, letter or email to communicated your interest will lead to the next step.
Visit to the Institution: Upon notification of your institution's interest in our proposal, we will schedule an officer of Flight Avionics of North America, Inc. to visit your institution site. During the visit, the Flight Avionics representative will be available to meet with the institution's decision makers in addition to exhibit design, facility, and marketing personnel. Flight Avionics is extensively experienced in all phases of motion simulation exhibit project management, and will also consult on design, site location, and other technical matters regarding the exhibit.
Agreement Proposal: After the completion of the site visit, the institution will be presented with an Agreement Proposal that contains specific terms and design elements as discussed during the site visit.
Acceptance of Agreement: Upon acceptance of an Agreement for the motion simulation exhibit, Flight Avionics will schedule an installation date with the institution and begin production. Typical agreement terms provide for the exhibit to be installed and operational no later than 180 days from acceptance of an agreement.
Production Period: During the production period, Flight Avionics will communicate with the exhibit design, facility, promotion or marketing personnel with the institution to ensure the finished exhibit is presented according to the design specifications and theme desired by the institution. Flight Avionics will bring the exhibit 100% complete. There will be no fabricating on the site. Everything is completed and set up in our fabrication facilities, then disassembled and packed for shipment and reassembled at your institution. Complete set up time is typically 3-6 days.
