Will Provide Three Full-Flight Simulators, Two Integrated
Procedures Trainers
CAE has sold three CAE 7000 Series full-flight simulators (FFS)
to Lion Air, Indonesia's leading domestic airline, the company
announced Monday. One FFS is for the ATR72-500 aircraft and the
other two for the Boeing 737-900ER model. CAE will also deliver two
CAE Simfinity integrated procedures trainers. The contract, valued
at approximately $37.3 million at list prices, brings the total FFS
sales that CAE has announced to date during fiscal year 2010 to
19.
Two of the simulators, plus two CAE Simfinity integrated
procedures trainers (IPTs) for the Boeing 737NG, will be delivered
to the Lion Air Training Center at Soekarno-Hatta International
Airport, Jakarta, Indonesia in 2011. The third simulator will be
delivered at a later date. Lion Air currently operates a
CAE-produced Boeing 737NG-900ER FFS and one CAE Simfinity™
Boeing 737 IPT which entered service two years ago.
"Lion Air has again placed their confidence in CAE's advanced
technology flight simulation solutions," said Jeff Roberts, CAE's
Group President, Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services.
"Lion Air has been one of the fast-growing carriers in the region,
and we look forward to meeting their pilot training needs."
The simulators will incorporate full six-degree-of-freedom CAE
True electric motion systems and new-generation CAE Tropos-6000
visual systems, including liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS)
projectors and 200- by 40-degree field-of-view visual displays. The
simulators are expected to be certified to Level D, the highest
qualification for flight simulators, by Indonesia's
Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DCGA).
"Delivery of the 737-900ER full-flight simulators will support
our Lion Air regional growth, and the ATR72-500 device will be used
for our Wings Air domestic route subsidiary and third-party
customer training.," said Rusdi Kirana, President Director and
co-founder of Lion Air.
