Boeing 777-9 Simulators Earn FAA and EASA Certification for Initial Pilot Training
The Boeing Company’s 777-9 flight training simulators received qualification certificates from the US Federal Aviation Administration and European Union Aviation Safety Agency on February 19, granting initial qualification for pilot training. Developed jointly with CAE, the full-flight simulators replicate 777-9 systems, flight physics and real-world conditions for comprehensive pilot instruction.
1. Certification Achievement
On February 19, Boeing’s 777-9 flight training simulators received initial qualification certificates from the US Federal Aviation Administration and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. This certification marks a crucial approval step, enabling the devices to be used in official pilot training programs.
2. Simulator Capabilities
The 777-9 simulators are full-flight devices that replicate actual aircraft systems, real-world flight physics and emergency scenarios. They provide hands-on training experiences from take-off through complex in-flight conditions, enhancing pilot preparedness for the new widebody twin-engine jet.
3. Partnership with CAE
Boeing developed the simulators in collaboration with CAE, leveraging the manufacturer’s expertise in training systems. This joint effort underscores Boeing’s strategy to deliver comprehensive commercial training solutions aligned with regulatory standards and global airline needs.
