Emirates has announced that the company will soon build an advanced training facility to accommodate 6 Full Flight Simulator Bays (FFS) for its future Airbus A350 and Boeing 777X aircraft fleet. The brand new, 63,318 sq. ft. facility is slated to open in March 2024. The new building will be adjacent to the existing Emirates Training Facilities in Dubai. This will provide a good integration and proximity to all the other pilot training centres.
Emirates Pilot trainees will also benefit from being able to set up and configure the cockpit environment using bespoke devices as part of the pilot training module and upload the data to the Full Flight Simulator (FFS) prior to commencing their training session. This first-of-its-kind concept is designed to shorten the trainee’s preparatory time inside the simulator, help them maintain focus and take full advantage of the training duration.
