787 Sim Certification

L-3 Link Simulation & Training’s (L-3 Link) Crawley, UK-based operation has received EASA and FAA Level D certification on a Boeing 787-8 full flight simulator (FFS) installed at the Boeing Training and Flight Services Singapore training campus. In addition to the FFS, L-3 Link UK delivered a flight training device (FTD) that received EASA Level 2 and FAA Level 5 qualifications. The FTD has a fully functional avionics capability, including an electronic flight bag and heads-up-display that allow all normal and non-normal procedures to be safely practiced. 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.
