New B767 Simulator Expands Pan Am Training

Pan Am Flight Academy, an Acorn Company, has acquired and installed a Boeing 767-300ER Level “D” Full-Flight Simulator, further expanding its widebody training capacity. The simulator is now located at the Academy’s Axis Park Campus in Miami and is scheduled to be ready-for-training by July 2025.

Outfitted with GE engines, TCAS 7.0, EGPWS, and Upset Recovery Training (UPRT Dir 2) capabilities, the B767-300ER simulator is being upgraded with the RSI XT6 Image Generator, high-resolution Norxe P10 projectors, a new back projection screen, and a complete mylar mirror replacement.

With this addition, Pan Am will operate five Boeing 767 full-flight simulators in Miami.

“These technical upgrades further reinforce our commitment to quality, reliability, and operational excellence,” said Ed Wegel, CEO of Pan Am Flight Academy. “This is yet another example of how we continue to invest in supporting our customers' global B767 fleet and meeting their pilot training needs.”

The acquisition supports growing demand from international carriers and commercial operators seeking access to widebody aircraft training, including type-rating, recurrent training, and simulator leasing.
