Ready for Immediate Training of Cockpit Crews
Embraer announced that the Embraer 170 flight simulator was
granted by the FAA, the United States Federal Aviation
Administration (through its NSP, National Simulator Program), and
JAA, the European Joint Aviation Authorities (through its JSET,
Joint Simulator Evaluation Team), the ILC (Interim Level C)
operation qualification, which allows cockpit crew training to
begin right away. The Brazilian authority that qualifies
simulators, DAC (Departamento de Aviacao Civil), sent a
representative to Montreal to take part in the campaign as an
observer.
Can a 170 ride be far behind?
This coincides with the final steps in the intense certification
program for the first jet of the new Embraer 170/190 aircraft
family, and meets the needs of operators by enabling them to
establish and start their respective training schedules at
once.
"Certification of the Embraer 170 simulator once again
demonstrates that Embraer is delivering on its commitments to
customers and partners," said Luiz Hamilton Lima, Senior Manager
for the EMBRAER 170 Program. "With the Embraer 170, the company is
offering its customers worldwide, not only a superb aircraft, but
also a comprehensive array of support products and services that
ensure lean and efficient operations."
Developed jointly with Canadian manufacturer CAE Inc. -- a
provider of technology solutions for civil and military
applications -- the Embraer 170 flight simulator has been completed
and performing test operations since July 2002, and the
qualification just granted allows regular cockpit crew training
activities to get started immediately. The equipment was also being
used in Embraer 170 certification tests required by the CTA (Centro
Tecnico Aeroespacial), FAA and JAA.
