CAE Selected By Southwest Airlines For Simulator Updates

CAE Will Provide Southwest Airlines With Its Tropos 6000XR Visual Systems

CAE announced at the World Aviation Training Conference and Trade Show (WATS) that it has been awarded a contract by Southwest Airlines for the purchase of ten CAE Tropos 6000XR visual systems.

"Southwest Airlines has been a long-time customer of CAE and we are proud of the fact that it has chosen us as its training partner of choice to equip its entire simulator fleet with the CAE Tropos 6000XR visual system," said Nick Leontidis, CAE's Group President, Civil Simulation and Training.

The CAE Tropos 6000XR visual system features high-quality visual scenes enhancing the realism of pilot training, the latest evolution of visual solutions for civil aviation training also focuses on providing optimized design and tools for lifecycle and maintenance benefits.

Features include:

  • Immersive and high-fidelity environment, simulating advanced weather effects, high-fidelity terrain, texture and models.
  • The CAE ACE standalone utility which allows customers to generate ground traffic and scenarios at each airport according to their preferences or training needs without using simulation downtime.
  • Shadow and lighting where scenes are enhanced with the addition of dynamic shadows generated by static planes and vehicles. Dynamic shadows correlate with the position of the sun and are cast on ground, buildings, moving vehicles and marshals.
  • 4 million pixels LED projectors delivering unprecedented visual realism and extended life time with minimized maintenance needs.
  • CAE True Airport service which provides more than 250 up-to-date airport databases online via an internet portal.
  • Retrofits capability with simulators manufactured by other vendors and compatibility with previous CAE Tropos IG protecting existing database investments.

Southwest's training center in Dallas, TX will update all its simulators to CAE-built visual systems starting in mid-2015.
