EDM’s E170 Door Trainer for S7 Airlines passes Factory Acceptance Test

EDM has reported that the E170 Door Trainer it has manufactured for S7 Airlines passed its Factory Acceptance Test (FAT).
Designed and built at EDM’s facility in Manchester, UK, the Embraer E170 Door Trainer will enable S7 Airline’s cabin crew to be comprehensively trained in the operation of this aircraft door type under all normal, abnormal and emergency conditions. Features include door arming and disarming, external door operation, emergency operation, emergency lights, door status indicators and a part-functional flight attendant panel (FAP). Integrated door malfunctions include handle and door block, power assist failure and slide deployment failure. The Russian airline’s Training Instructors will be able to operate the door via an easy-to-use touchscreen Instructor Operator Station (IOS) that simulates all the faults and malfunctions that may be encountered by the cabin crew under actual operational conditions.
