Level D Certification Expected Next Month For Rockwell Collins
Edge FFS
Rockwell Collins has delivered an advanced Edge 737 NG Full
Flight Simulator (FFS) to the Pan Am International Flight Academy's
North American training center in Miami, marking the U.S debut of
the new system. The announcement was made Tuesday at the World
Aviation Training Symposium (WATS).
The Edge 737 NG FFS, introduced by Rockwell Collins in 2009, is
expected to achieve Level D certification by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) this May.
"We developed our Edge full flight simulator from a clean-sheet
design and have been getting outstanding feedback on its
capabilities, ease of use and flexibility in creating tailored
programs for the end user," said Ken Schreder, vice president and
general manager of Simulation and Training Solutions for Rockwell
Collins. "The delivery to Pan Am is especially important to us as
we look to introduce more training centers and pilots to the
advanced capabilities of this system."
"As the latest customer for the Rockwell Collins Edge 737 NG
FFS, Pan Am International Flight Academy is able to meet the
simulator training needs for all our 737 NG Airline customers with
this outstanding training device," said Vito Cutrone, president of
Pan Am International Flight Academy.
The system features:
- A highly configurable instructor tools suite that provides
complete freedom to customize training to match the needs of
trainees
- An open systems hardware and software architecture that readily
supports upgrades, allowing proactive obsolescence management and
integration of the latest in commercial-off-the-shelf
technology
- A scalable, modular design providing a broad range of training
devices with common software and hardware components.
- At the forefront of technology, Rockwell Collins enhances
training effectiveness by providing the most advanced solutions at
the lowest cost of ownership. By leveraging its strengths in
avionic systems development and training systems design, Rockwell
Collins delivers total integrated training solutions that span the
entire training life cycle, from instructional systems design
through fully integrated high-fidelity training systems and
support.
