This will be the first Frasca flight simulator installed in Ethiopia.
The device will be installed by Africair, based in Miami, FL. “Africair has a long history of supporting Ethiopian Airlines Aviation Academy dating back to 1977, when their first Skyhawk XP was delivered, and we have been continually supporting their operations ever since. Africair has also been involved with Frasca simulator projects in other parts of Africa. Frasca’s products add tremendous value to flight school organizations throughout the continent.” said Travis Tinsey, Regional Sales Manager, Africair Inc.
Driven by the ever-increasing demand for its basic and recurrent training programs from domestic and international customers, the Ethiopian Aviation Academy is currently undergoing a massive transformation by heavily investing to equip itself with modern training aircraft, computer based trainings, simulators, and other ultra-modern facilities. The Frasca device will be an integral part of this transformation.
