Embraer will provide a suite of training solutions for the Royal Netherlands Air Force’s C-390 Millennium fleet. The agreement includes a full-flight simulator, a cargo handling station trainer developed in collaboration with Rheinmetall, and a computer-based trainer (CBT) developed with ETI. All training solutions are expected to be operational by the end of 2026.
“The new training devices offered to the Royal Netherlands Air Force are a significant milestone on our long-term relationship. Working in partnership with Rheinmetall and ETI, Embraer is focused on providing the best-in-class training solutions required by our customers. We have tailored these solutions aiming on every detail needed by the Royal Netherlands Air Force, and we are looking forward to deepening our relationship even more in the coming years,” said Carlos Naufel, President and CEO of Embraer Services & Support.
The Level D qualifiable C-390 flight simulator enables training in both standard and emergency scenarios, supports military operations, and incorporates over 350 malfunctions for realistic training. It is also designed to be easily maintained and comfortable for pilot training.
Additionally, the cargo handling station trainer (CHST) offers extensive training in loadmaster procedures for flight crews, loadmasters and other personnel, using advanced visual technology to depict the aircraft’s cargo hold and exterior views.
Lastly, the computer-based trainer (CBT) provides theoretical training for pilots, loadmasters, additional crew members and maintenance personnel via a learning management system compatible with SCORM technology, ensuring comprehensive instruction in the C-390 Millennium’s operations.
