The right-hand engine is a Lycoming LO-360-E1A6D variant, which turns in the opposite direction to the left-hand engine. This feature eliminates the and makes the aircraft more controllable in the event that an engine needs to be shut down or fails.

Product Description Introducing the most interactive and thorough aircraft systems training software available on the market today, designed and produced by pilots for pilots. Our software is a vital learning platform used as a teaching tool for instructors and a comprehensive study aid for students. It can also be used for aircraft owner/operators looking to sharpen and increase their aircraft systems knowledge.
The CD-ROM software comes loaded with video presentations, sound, 3D animations, interactive system schematics and simulations, all combined to create a virtual tool that comes to life with the click of your mouse. You will find these features throughout the software giving you extensive knowledge of the aircraft inside and out. VTS training tools are priced affordably to allow each student to own a personal copy of the software. Each aircraft’s systems are covered in detail far surpassing the general information provided in the Pilot’s Information Manual. For example, the electrical schematic is presented on-screen just as it appears in the information manual. But instead of just sitting there looking mysterious and intimidating, this virtual schematic comes to life with a click of the mouse.
Controls and indicators from the cockpit are also available on-screen, creating an animated simulation of the entire system.
