Emirates has made significant investments in its training facilities, aiming to prepare its crew for the future and specifically for the A350 aircraft. The new suites feature three full flight simulators with innovative pilot support systems (PSS), a fixed base training device, a cabin emergency evacuation trainer, and a door trainer. This reflects the airline's commitment to achieving high standards in crew training.
The PSS, developed in-house by Emirates, is an industry first designed to enhance the training experience. It allows trainees to perform an interactive flight deck set-up during briefings and then recall this set-up when they move into the simulator. The debrief mode enables instructors to review recorded sessions of crew performance.
The first A350 full flight simulator received a level D qualification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), indicating the highest standard for such simulators. This achievement was noted as having zero findings during initial qualification, a notable accomplishment in simulation technology. The advanced technology is intended to boost training efficiency and empower pilots with necessary skills.
