Aviation training provider, Pan Am Flight Academy, now has a new Level D B737 MAX-8 simulator to further improve the company’s commercial pilot training programmes. The state-of-the-art simulator should be operational by July 2023 which should enable the Academy to incorporate a new aircraft simulator to its extended offering.
This new simulator features the latest technology for a realistic and immersive training experience and will be fully equipped with the latest L3 Harris RealitySeven technology. This B737 MAX-8 simulator will also have latest features including the Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS), TCAS II-7.1, weather radar, electric control loading and motion system and RSi EPIC visual system.
“We are excited to add the B737 MAX-8 simulator to our fleet of training devices,” said Jeff Portanova, President of Pan Am Flight Academy. “This new simulator is a significant investment in our training programs and will provide our students with the highest quality training experience.”
The B737 MAX-8 is a hugely popular commercial aircraft and this latest addition to the simulator fleet means Pan Am Flight Academy will be able to provide further training options to pilots from airlines and other aviation organizations across the globe.
Pan Am Flight Academy has an established reputation for providing the highest quality training programmes in the aviation industry, offering a wide range of aviation training programs for commercial pilots, including initial type ratings, upgrades, recurrent training, ATP-CTP and other specialized training courses.
Pan Am Flight Academy is the only remaining vestige of the now folded Pan American World Airways, usually referred to simply as ‘Pan Am’, which closed its doors in 1991. The Academy, originally named Pan American World Airways’ International Flight Academy first began operations in 1980. In July 2013 All Nippon Airways Holdings (ANA) announced its intention to acquire Pan Am Holdings, which included today’s Pan Am Flight Academy.
