Full-Motion Simulators Should Be Operational Next Month
The FAA has awarded Level D certification for the Eclipse EA500
full motion simulators located in Orlando, FL. Eclipse Aerospace,
in conjunction with SimCom Training Centers, announced Thursday
that SimCom also received FAA approval for its Eclipse 500 pilot
training program that includes Initial, Recurrent, Differences and
Mentor training. Eclipse 500 pilots will be able to schedule
factory approved training provided by SimCom as early as October
2010.
"SimCom is pleased to have secured FAA approval of the Eclipse
simulators and our training programs," said Wally David, President
and CEO of SimCom Training Centers. "We are proud to provide
Eclipse 500 pilots with a professional, high-quality
simulator-based training program. Pilots will gain experience and
hone their skills in a highly realistic training environment,
utilizing both simulator and classroom learning." David further
noted that SimCom's classrooms are also equipped with a
comprehensive suite of advanced training courseware including
animated systems presentations, technical systems manuals and
cockpit procedure trainers.
SimCom and Eclipse Aerospace, Inc. initially announced the
strategic partnership to provide pilot training for EA500 owners
and operators earlier in the year. The agreement established SimCom
as the exclusive provider of factory authorized simulator based
training for Eclipse.
"The professionalism that SimCom extends to each of its clients
made them an easy choice for this partnership," said Mason Holland,
President and CEO of Eclipse Aerospace. "They have consistently
tracked ahead of schedule for each milestone in our relationship.
As we move forward, they will be a great asset to Eclipse and our
customers."
