CATI brings the same image generator technology to the civil and commercial training arena with X–100™ that it provides to the military with its X–IG™ image generator. X–100™ is designed to provide the civil and commercial training market with high end performance solutions at significantly reduced initial investment and total cost of ownership.

The processing power of X–100™ renders realistic imagery based databases that address the proposed FAA/JAA regulatory requirements (14 CFR Part 60/ JAR STD 01A, Amendment 3) for realistic, accurate, and dynamic scene content. With X–100™, the user can choose the flight conditions, airport scene, and runway environment required. X–100™ provides the user with true to life atmospheric conditions including cloud cover, fog, haze, rain, wind, snow, and continuous time of day.
