April 19, 2011 - Boeing has achieved multiple qualifications for its worldwide 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.
"Boeing is changing the game through continued
innovation in our advanced suite of training
technologies. By bringing this cutting-edge training
directly to airlines in the regions of the world where
they're based and serve their passengers, we're offering
our customers the flexibility and efficiency of flight
crew training where they need it, when they need it,"
Carbary said.
"The innovations of the 787 Dreamliner don't end with the airplane itself," said Sherry Carbary, vice president, Boeing Flight Services. Full-flight simulators and other flight training devices for commercial pilot training require qualifications from each airline's home country regulatory agency. |

Boeing is qualifying its network of 787 training devices with
multiple regulators in order to allow airlines the maximum
options and regional locations for training their crews.
"Providing our airline customers with cost effective flexibility
is a top priority," said Roei Ganzarski, chief customer officer,
Boeing Training & Flight Services. "We've invested in
world-class courseware, trained a global team of experienced
instructors, and now have certified a worldwide network of
simulators, all to provide 787 operators an efficient and
effective 787 training solution."
Boeing operates 787 training campuses in five locations:
Seattle, Singapore, Tokyo, London Gatwick and Shanghai. As part
of the qualification process, Boeing demonstrated, with the
regulators' concurrence, that the training devices located at
the five campuses around the world were similar or identical in
the way they operate.
The qualifications from the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) on behalf of the
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Japanese Civil Aviation
Bureau (JCAB) and the Civil Aviation Administration of China
(CAAC) will allow Boeing Flight Services to deliver the same
quality of training at all locations.
Last month the CAAC qualified the Shanghai Boeing training campus for 787 training including the full-flight 787 simulator and the 787 flight training device. With this achievement, Boeing has received more than 20 separate qualifications in five locations on three continents in support of 787 entry into service beginning later this year. |
