The Brazilian aeronautical company Embraerin collaboration with the Canadian Fallsthe first full flight simulator of the model will have just opened in Madrid E-Jet E2 Embraer in Europe. This installation represents a key step in the consolidation of pilot training in the region, by offering advanced training without the need for displacements to America or Asia. Located in the CAE training center In Madrid, next to the Barajas airport, the new simulator will attend to the growing fleet of E2 aircraft in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, a macro -region called as EMEA and with administrative headquarters at Amsterdam, used by airlines such as KLM Cityhopper, Helvetic Airways and Lot Polish Airlines.
“With the implementation of a new complete flight simulator in Madrid, Spain consolidates its role as a reference center for the aerospace sector and commercial aviation,” says Carlos Naufel, president and executive director of services and Embraer support.
The simulator reproduces with precision the flight environment of the E190-E2 and E195-E2, including cabin, systems, climatic conditions and emergencies. The training meets the EASA standards (European Air Security Agency) and use a competency -based approach (CBTA), which optimizes the learning and decision making of the pilots.
According to the Executive, “this device will support the main European operators of E2 aircraft, providing formation of first level pilots and operational support for the Fleet of E2 in rapid expansion.”
Expansion
In addition to Madrid, the Joint Venture Embraer-Cae Training Services has already established another E2 simulator in Singapore, and plans to continue expanding as the demand for efficient medium-range aircraft grows.
The ECTS device implementation initiative, the first for E2 aircraft clients in the European, Middle East and Africa region, reinforces Madrid as a key to aeronautical training in Europe, thanks to its air connectivity, its logistics capacity and its technical infrastructure.
According to the manufacturer, the simulator is expected to contribute to reducing operating costs for airlines and to improve the availability of certified training in the continent.
In a context of expansion of the E2 model, highlighted by its low fuel consumption and lower emissions, the opening of this simulator also strengthens the global Embraer presence against giants such as Boeing and Airbus, the company stressed.
The president of the CAE Commercial Aviation Division, Michel Azar-Hmouda, stood out during the recent inauguration of the simulator that «Advanced training offered in Madrid, with the didactic material for the evaluation of competency -based training (…), will improve classroom training». “Together with the latest generation simulator, these tools guarantee that our pilots trained in E2 have the necessary skills and trust to operate the aircraft safely”he added random-Hmouda.
