Company Expands Flight Training Globally
The first Cirrus full motion flight simulator in
Europe became operations in Poznan, Poland Tuesday. Cirrus' first
European SIM Center will offer simulation training for the Cirrus
SR20 and SR22 aircraft with Cirrus Perspective by Garmin avionics.
The company's flight simulator expansion now provides pilots
throughout Europe a practical and safe method for logging hours
toward certification or re-currency training in a Cirrus aircraft
never before available.
In the Cirrus Aircraft SIM, pilots will have the opportunity to
fly in a real Cirrus Perspective cockpit with all active functions
and safety features, including a Cirrus Airframe Parachute System
(CAPS) handle. The European SIM Center will allow pilots to take
advantage of all of the innovative features such as the luxury
automotive ergonomics, pilot-friendly avionics, and advanced safety
features that Cirrus Aircraft is known for.
The simulator is intended to train European pilots who are new
to flying or new to Cirrus flying; improve proficiency of current
Cirrus pilots; provide transitional training for Cirrus pilots who
are upgrading to the full glass cockpit; as well as for Cirrus
pilots seeking recurrent training. Training in the simulator can be
conducted in any European language.
"The introduction of the European simulator in Poland is a
critical component to our expansion," said Dale Klapmeier, CEO of
Cirrus Aircraft. "This European SIM Center now gives us a larger
Cirrus Aircraft and general aviation market footprint which allows
us to efficiently train current and future Cirrus pilots throughout
Europe."
