Indra delivers first A320 simulator for Hainan Airlines

Indra delivered the first of two Airbus A320 simulators purchased by Hainan Airlines. The system is already providing service at the airline’s flight training centre in the city of Sanya on the island of Hainan. Indra will supply the second system later this year. The Indra simulator has entered into service after successfully passing its certification tests with a Level D, which is the maximum for civil simulators. The Level D certification guarantees that the simulator reproduces with a maximum accuracy the aircraft’s actual behaviour and therefore is suitable for the basic training required to fly a specific aircraft model as well as recurrent or refresher training. In April the simulator underwent the CAAC Chinese Aeronautical Authority’s tests established by the CCAR60 regulation.  Indra is one of the leading flight simulator manufacturers and the company has already delivered 200 systems in 19 countries for 51 customers.
