JetBlue Orders More Training CAE Simfinity Devices

JetBlue Airways has ordered three CAE Simfinity Embraer 190 Level 5 flight training devices (FTDs), in addition to the three A320 CAE FTDs it already uses.

Flight training devices are realistic replicas of cockpit instrumentation used to help pilots master the basic elements of operating a specific aircraft, prior to entering full-flight simulator training.

According to CAE, the Embraer 190 FTDs are the first such devices in the world.  CAE is also building the world’s first Embraer 190 full-flight simulator.  07-15-2004.
