Euramec announced a new line up of flight simulators forbusiness aircraft types and is further exploring technologies to help operatorsreduce initial and recurrent training costs.
“Training optimization is a major focus for all operators,”Bert Buyle, CEO Euramec says. “Recurrent training costs take up a large portionof the budget for business jet operators, due to limited availabilities of(full) flight simulators. Upcoming changes in EASA regulations allow to makeuse of fixed base training devices for certain recurrent training programs. Ourdevices will dramatically reduce the cost of this training.”
Other than initial and recurrent pilot training, Euramecalso targets to build procedure trainers for business aircraft mechanics.Aircraft mechanics are currently sent around the world to learn particulartasks – e.g. engine start-up/shutdown – and these training costs can besignificant. Euramec says there is absolutely no need to make use of fullflight simulators for this, a fixed base procedure trainer is adequate for thistype of training.
Euramec’s Business Aviation FTD platforms include a range ofEASA-certified Flight Training Devices (FTD) that significantly reduce trainingand operating costs for Business Aviation operators when compared againstFull-Flight Simulators (FFS).
Initially the company will offer flight training devices forbusiness jets, i.e. the Cessna Citation, as well as the Beechcraft King Airturboprop; and with the company’s focus on integrating new technologies, smarttraining devices for other aircraft types will follow.
Recently, the company secured a federal grant to develop anAirbus A320 flight simulator. Thecertifiable device will hit the market in 2020.
