New Boeing 737 Avionics Trainer for Cat3C

Cat3C, part of the Aeros Group, has installed a ready for training (RFT) 737 cockpit instrument/avionics trainer at its Gloucester Airport training base.

The instrument/avionics trainer is a partial representation of a Boeing 737 flight deck and enables familiarisation with the key elements of the aircraft’s avionics (Instruments, Flight Management System-FMS and Automation).

Captain Bill Chivers, Head of Training said: ‘This avionics device gives our students the chance to get some ‘hands on’ experience to consolidate their theory training. This will greatly optimise their exam preparation and performance. Our students will be able to hit the ground running on their future training such as APS MCC (Airline Pilot Standard Multi Crew Cooperation) as with the avionics already understood they will be able to focus on the multi-crew interactions and advanced swept wing jet handling that are the objectives of that course.”
