Maintenance Training Simulation Now At Honeywell Aerospace
Academy In Phoenix
CAE announced Tuesday at the NBAA annual convention that it
has initiated its first CAE Simfinity-equipped classroom for
maintenance training at the Honeywell Aerospace Academy in Phoenix,
Arizona. High-fidelity, simulation-based multi-screen displays will
be used to support technical training across a range of
Honeywell-equipped business aircraft platforms.
The first course taught in the CAE Simfinity classroom addresses
Air Transport Association (ATA) Level III line maintenance for the
Honeywell Primus Epic(R) integrated avionics system. The five-day
course began this week, and encompasses operations theory, line
replacement unit (LRU) interface, flight modes, troubleshooting,
and testing of the Primus Epic system.
"The advanced learning environment of the CAE Simfinity-driven
classroom is another element of creating a truly authentic and
operationally oriented training experience for the skilled
individuals responsible for the airworthiness of corporate fleets -
together with the technical product and training expertise of the
Honeywell-CAE team," said Jeff Roberts, CAE's Group President,
Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services.
CAE and Honeywell announced an alliance a year ago at NBAA to
provide the aerospace industry with the highest-quality training
for technicians and flight operations personnel in locations
worldwide. Through this alliance, customers receive an innovative,
seamless and consistent training experience incorporating the
latest training technology and original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) technical expertise. All training is delivered by a joint
Honeywell and CAE team of instructors and subject matter experts
with proven experience with Honeywell's aircraft products and
systems.
The CAE Simfinity product line, which uses the same
high-fidelity simulation software as CAE's full-flight simulators,
also includes three-dimensional (3D) integrated procedures trainers
(IPTs) and two-dimensional (2D) training devices for pilot and
maintenance training in either self-paced or instructor-led
classroom setups. The CAE Simfinity 2D training devices include the
virtual maintenance trainer (VMT), virtual simulator (VSIM), and
flight management system trainer (FMST).
