Lufthansa Aviation Training (LAT) has become the launch customer for the new L3Harris Technologies Boeing 787 Flight Training Device (FTD), which along with an additional order for a Boeing 787 Full Flight Simulator (FFS), will provide a training solution in their Frankfurt, Germany, pilot training facility.
The Boeing 787 FFS and FTD will be delivered to LAT’s training centre by the second half of 2022. L3Harris has also developed and delivered two advanced A320 FTDs and an A350 FFS to LAT.
“We are investing in and leveraging our expertise of manufacturing flight training devices to develop fixed base devices,” said Alan Crawford, President, Commercial Aviation, L3Harris. “This is offering trainers a wider variety of high-fidelity devices, giving them more versatility to tailor their programs to specific aircraft and airline requirements.”
Recent amendments to both European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations provide the flexibility and clarity for an increased proportion of simulator training hours to be flown on FTDs.
