S7 Airlines orders new Embraer E170 full flight simulator

S7 Airlines, a oneworld® global airline alliance member, has announced that it has ordered an Embraer E170 full flight simulator by FlightSafety. The simulator will be installed and put into operation in the S7 Training aviation training centre at the end of 2018. Full flight simulators (FFS) are designed for pilots to train their flight skills in conditions as close to a real flight as possible. They are equipped with a cockpit that is an exact copy of that of a real aircraft. The new simulator will be equipped with high-tech visualisation and motion control systems, as well as a multi-functional operating station with a user-friendly interface for instructors.
In April 2017, S7 Airlines received the first Embraer 170-LR airliner and became Russia’s first operator of this type of aircraft. Designed to transport 78 passengers in a spacious and comfortable cabin of the economic class, Embraer 170-LR aircraft now carry out the flights from Moscow, Novosibirsk and St. Petersburg.
