SEATTLE, April 18, 2011 – Boeing [NYSE: BA] has achieved multiple qualifications for its world-wide network of 787 training campuses. The qualifications mean Boeing Flight Services has training devices that are ready to be used with an approved training course in locations around the globe.
The 787 full-flight simulator shown here is one of two located at the Boeing Flight Services Seattle training campus. There are eight 787 training suites at five Boeing campuses -- Seattle, Tokyo, Singapore, Shanghai and London Gatwick.
The 787 full-flight simulator includes dual heads-up displays (HUD) and Electronic Flight Bags (EFB). The simulator is designed to train pilots to become proficient in visual maneuvers, instrument landing system (ILS) and non-ILS approaches, missed approaches using integrated approach navigation, non-normal procedures with emphasis on those affecting handling characteristics, and wind shear and rejected takeoff training.
