DEVELOP A FLIGHT SIMULATOR FOR THE WORLD’S LARGEST AIRPLANE
No, it’s not a video game… although, at first sight, it may very well look like one. It’s a flight and mission simulator created by CAE, a firm renowned for the realism, quality, and reliability of its systems. In April 2008, the world’s first A380 flight simulator, designed and manufactured by CAE for Airbus, achieved Level D certification, the highest qualification for flight simulators. Pilots the world over regard CAE’s simulators as the closest thing to the true experience of flight. On board these simulators, pilots can travel to any destination, in all manner of weather conditions, without ever leaving the ground. In a flight simulator, pilots can safely carry out manoeuvres that would be too dangerous or impossible during an actual flight. CAE has the world’s largest installed base of civil and military full-flight simulators and training devices. Each year, the company trains over 75,000 crewmembers through its global network of 29 civil aviation and military training centres.
