Pan Am Flight Academy has announced the arrival of its latest addition, a Level D Airbus A330 full-flight simulator (FFS). This cutting-edge simulator, formerly located in Bahrain, has now been installed at the new Pan Am Flight Academy training centre situated at the Axis Park complex in Hialeah, FL.
Featuring Airbus Standard 2.4 specifications, the simulator incorporates engine models such as the Rolls Royce Trent, General Electric’s GE CF6-80 and Pratt & Whitney PW 4000. Integrated with the CAE Tropos visuals system and Moog Electric Motion, the A330 sim also includes Thales and Honeywell FMGEC, TCAS 7.1, EGPWS, and upset recovery (UPRT Dir 2). Training on this state-of-the-art simulator is scheduled to commence in late summer 2024.
“The addition of this simulator underscores our commitment to meeting the escalating demand for training in our industry,” remarked Jeff Portanova, President of Pan Am Flight Academy. “At Pan Am, we prioritise offering diversity, flexibility, as well as unparalleled quality and technology to our valued aviation customers.”
With the introduction of this A330 Level D simulator, Pan Am now offers a total of nine different simulators at its Axis Park training centre. This simulator perfectly complements the existing A320 Level D simulator, bringing the total number of simulators in service at Pan Am Flight Academy to 22.
