Air New Zealand has introduced a new Cabin Emergency Evacuation Trainer for its Boeing 787 fleet, designed to enhance the training of its 1,600 widebody cabin crew and 650 pilots. This development aims to ensure both service and safety standards are met effectively.
Captain David Morgan, Air New Zealand's Chief Operational Integrity and Safety Officer, emphasized the advanced technology incorporated into the device. "This new device has incredible technology behind it, providing industry-leading training by simulating a real-life environment with visual projections, audio cues, and even simulated smoke in the cabin," he stated. The trainer allows for the simulation of numerous scenarios that can help prepare crew members for various situations they might encounter during flights.
The trainer is equipped with six aircraft doors capable of projecting scenes from diverse environments such as airports, forests, and oceans. It also includes 52 seats representing different classes including Economy, Premium Economy, Business Premier, and the new Business Premier Luxe.
