L-3 Link Simulation & Training (L-3 Link) announced today that its Crawley, U.K.-based operation has gained U.K. Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Level D certification on a Boeing 787-8 Full Flight Simulator (FFS) that is now providing aircrew training for a Middle Eastern airline.

This milestone marks the first airline-operated Boeing 787-8 FFS to achieve Level D certification.

“With this Level D-certified simulator, the airline’s Boeing 787 aircrews will receive the highest level of training fidelity to support safe operation of the newest aircraft entering its fleet,” said Mark Gasson, L-3 Link Vice President.

“We are proud to achieve this industry first, but our focus will always be to provide aircrews with simulation-based training that supports a full range of requirements in the most realistic fashion possible,” he added.

In addition to the 787-8 FFS, L-3 Link has also delivered a U.K. CAA Level 2-certified Boeing 787-8 Flat Panel Trainer. Each trainer is based on L-3 Link’s C2000X simulator technology. The training devices replicate how the Boeing 787-8 operates when equipped with General Electric GEnx engines. In addition, L-3 Link has provided two briefing and debriefing stations to improve training delivery efficiency and optimize use of the training suite.
