Regulatory Approvals Pave Way For Pilot Training On Latest Widebody

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have awarded the Boeing 777-9 flight training simulator initial qualification, marking a significant step towards regulator-approved pilot training. The simulators, developed in collaboration with CAE, are located at the Boeing Training Campus in London-Gatwick Airport and replicate the aircraft’s advanced systems. This qualification is expected to pave the way for the start of flight training, with the training devices to be used by regulatory authorities to validate and approve training courseware. The development was first reported by AeroTime.
