Modelling and simulation firm CAE has won contracts to design and manufacture two new full-flight simulators (FFS) and provide proprietary CAE Simfinity training devices for Lufttransport AS and an undisclosed customer.

One of the two C$25m contracts includes a CAE 5000 series Beech King Air B200 FFS for Lufttransport, a Norwegian airline that provides air ambulance services.

The other order is for a CAE 5000 series A320 FFS and CAE Simfinity airbus pilot transition (APT) trainers.

The FFSs will provide the users with third-party training, including new multi-crew pilot licence training methodology.

The simulators are equipped with PC-based visuals, high-performance liquid crystal on silicon projectors, electric motion and composite components.

Lufttransport CEO Stig Naesh said that the acquisition represents a major step for the company.

“It will help in the ongoing search for improvement of flight safety standards through quality training measures,” he said.

In addition, this will also Norway’s role in flight simulation to be emphasised, said Naesh.
