Training Device Installed At London Gatwick Airport
The U.K. Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has granted Level D certification to L-3 Link Simulation & Training (L-3 Link) for the Boeing 787-8 Full Flight Simulator (FFS) installed at Boeing Flight Services’ London Gatwick Airport campus. This is the third L-3 Link 787-8 FFS to be certified during 2013, with two additional certifications scheduled by the end of the year.
“The continued close collaboration between the Boeing and L-3 teams has produced a Level D-certified 787-8 Full Flight Simulator that is providing aircrews with the highest levels of training realism,” said Mark Gasson, L-3 Link UK vice president. “We are particularly proud that the only Level D-certified 787-8 Full Flight Simulators in operation today bear the L-3 logo.”
“We are pleased to offer our customers 787 Full Flight Simulators with Level D certification at our London Gatwick campus,” said Len Weber, director of operations for Boeing Flight Services. “This qualification allows Boeing to provide our customers training on simulators with the highest level of fidelity for safe and efficient operation of our newest airplanes.”
Aircrews training at Boeing’s London Gatwick campus are gaining a seamless transfer of knowledge on a comprehensive 787-8 training suite delivered by L-3 Link. In addition to the FFS, L-3 Link UK has delivered a Flight Training Device (FTD) and Desktop Trainer. The FTD has a fully functional avionics capability, including an electronic flight bag and heads-up-display, which enable all normal and non-normal procedures to be safely practiced. Boeing instructors can change simulator software loads on the 787-8 FFS to replicate how the aircraft operates when equipped with either the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 or General Electric GEnx engines.
