In Service In The U.K.
Rockwell Collins said Tuesday that it has achieved JAR-FSTD A
Level D, Zero Flight Time certification from the United Kingdom
Civil Aviation Authority for its new Boeing 737 NG full flight
simulator.
The device, which is part of Rockwell Collins' Edge family of
simulators, utilizes the company's CORETM simulation architecture.
It has been installed at CTC Aviation Group's Crew Training Center
near Southampton, U.K.
"This certification of our Edge B737 NG simulator marks an
important step forward in delivering the new capabilities of our
CORE simulation architecture, which we announced earlier this
year," said Ken Schreder, vice president and general manager of
Simulation and Training Solutions for Rockwell Collins. "The
flexibility and adaptability of this new system, combined with our
superior service and support, will deliver an unprecedented
training experience for 737 NG flight crews."
Designed from the user and maintainer's point of view, Rockwell
Collins' CORE simulation architecture features common open reusable
elements including scalable software adaptable for multiple
training devices, integrated tool sets and industry leading display
and image generation technology. The highly configurable, modular
design is a new approach to simulation, providing long term, cost
effective solutions to the legacy issues of accommodating upgrades
and fleet changes.
Additional features of the CORE architecture include:
- Rockwell Collins' display and image generating technology
offering industry-leading realism.
- A highly configurable tools suite that provides the freedom to
easily customize training for multiple situations.
- Hardware and software designs that easily accommodate upgrades
and new technology additions through open systems architecture
.
- Scalable, modular design across a broad range of training
devices allows proactive obsolescence management and integration of
the latest in commercial-off-the-shelf technology.
