Full Flight Simulators For A320, A330
CAE has received orders for two
Airbus A320 and A330 CAE 7000 Series full-flight simulators (FFS)
from Shanghai Eastern Flight Training Company (SEFTC), the training
subsidiary of China Eastern Airlines, the company announced
Tuesday. The contract brings the total FFS sales that CAE has
announced during fiscal year 2010 to 14.
CAE also announced it received an order cancellation of one
simulator that was sold during a prior fiscal year.
The A320 and A330 FFSs, as well as brief-debrief stations, will
be delivered to SEFTC in 2011. The simulators will incorporate full
six-degree-of-freedom CAE True electric motion systems and
new-generation CAE Tropos-6000 visual systems, including liquid
crystal on silicon (LCoS) projectors and 200- by 40-degree
field-of-view visual displays. Both simulators will be certified to
Level D, the highest qualification for flight simulators.
SEFTC currently uses six CAE-produced FFSs at its facilities at
Shanghai Pudong Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone. They include four A320
devices, an A330/340, and a Boeing 737. All feature multiple engine
options and CAE Tropos visual systems.
