Computer Firm Gets JAA Cert For Simulator
Evans & Sutherland Computer Corp. says its
EP-1000CT visual system has been awarded its first Joint Aviation
Authorities (JAA) STD-1A-Level D certification, the highest
accreditation for civil aviation simulators.
The dual certification, which was completed by the
Federal Office of Civil Aviation of Germany (LBA) at the Lufthansa
Flight Training (LFT) Center in Frankfurt, Germany, qualifies the
CAE-built A340-300 and Thales-built B767-300 simulators fitted with
the EP-1000CT to train commercial airline pilots.
Milestone Achieved
"With these approvals, one of the primary milestones of the
original EP-1000CT development program that began in May 2001 has
been achieved," said E&S Commercial Simulation Vice President
and General Manager Richard Flitton. "EP-1000CT and the underlying
EP technology has introduced a number of new training and
operational benefits to the pilot training industry, and this
on-time regulatory approval is a credit to the E&S and customer
teams that have contributed to the final product."
This is the first of a number of regulatory approvals of
EP-1000CT that are planned for 2003.
"Both the acceptance testing and regulatory approval phases of
the EP-1000CT introduction have gone extremely well," said George
Schutz, visual system section manager, Lufthansa Flight Training.
"We have also been receiving many positive comments about EP-1000CT
from our pilot customers and look forward to introducing this
exciting product into more of our training programs as the year
progresses."
