L-3 Link Simulation & Training’s (L-3 Link) Crawley, UK-based operation has received UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Level D certification on a Boeing 787-8 full flight simulator (FFS) installed at Boeing Flight Services' London Gatwick Airport campus. This is the third L-3 Link 787-8 FFS to be certified during 2013, with two additional certificates scheduled by the end of the year. Aircrews training at Boeing's London Gatwick campus are gaining a seamless transfer of knowledge on a comprehensive 787-8 training suite delivered by L-3 Link. In addition to the FFS, L-3 Link UK has delivered a flight training device (FTD) and desktop trainer. Boeing instructors can change simulator software loads on the 787-8 FFS to replicate how the aircraft operates when equipped with either the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 or General Electric GEnx engines.
