SIMAERO has received EASA certification of its Full Flight Simulator (FFS) ATR 42/72 located in its Johannesburg Training Centre in South Africa.
This FFS is convertible for three versions of the ATR aircraft: ATR 72-200 (EASA Level C), ATR 72-500 (EASA Level D) and ATR 42-300 (EASA Level C). The simulator is further certified by the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) for each of the three configurations, as well as ATR 42-500. The two certifications allow the ATR 42/72 FFS to be used for advanced pilot training for ATR aircraft operators worldwide.
Capt. Olivier Bourgogne, Fleet Manager/Fleet Training Manager ATR of Air Mauritius, was among the first clients to evaluate the simulator for his airline needs. He confirmed that the ATR simulator and SIMAERO Johannesburg facility met their requirement for training.
The addition of the EASA certification is a significant milestone in SIMAERO's strategy to offer clients a global product. The SIMAERO customers are able to choose the EASA or SACAA approved type rating program as well as recurrent and type differences training programs.
The device has a level C qualification, is equipped with RSI Raster XT4 visual system, collimated, with day, dusk, dawn, night, and DLP-LED projectors. It has Pratt & Whitney PW120 engines fitted with HS14SF5 propellers, ACAS II, and Windshear profiles, and ETOPS capabilities.
