Business Wire
L-3 Communications (NYSE:LLL) announced today that its
Commercial Training Solutions (CTS) business will display its L-3
Link UK-built Airbus A350 Flat Panel Trainer (FPT) at the
Farnborough International Airshow for the first time this year. The
FPT will be operated by instructors and cadets from L-3 CTC
Aviation – demonstrating the capability offered by L-3 CTS,
including cadet training, qualified pilot training, and simulation
and training centers.
Based on the company’s market-leading RealitySeven™ simulation
technology, the FPT is one element of a multifaceted training
product solution offered by L-3 Link UK, ranging from RealitySeven
high-fidelity total-immersion Full Flight Simulators (FFSs) to
Pilot Transition trainers, Flight Management System trainers, and
classroom learning using laptops and tablets. The FPT, which is
destined for Cathay Pacific in Hong Kong, is part of a suite of
A350 FFSs and FPTs provided by L-3 Link UK.
“We are excited to demonstrate the new Airbus A350 FPT at the
Farnborough International Airshow this year, as it highlights the
broad capabilities of our Commercial Training Solutions business,”
said Michael T. Strianese, L-3’s chairman and chief executive
officer. “We have long been an innovator in flight simulation
technology, which complements the training side of our CTS business
and provides us with new opportunities to extend our leadership in
the evolving global aviation industry. Our focus now is on
delivering more enhanced and innovative technologies that meet the
diverse needs of our leading airline customers.”
L-3’s CTS business is composed of Link UK and CTC Aviation
within the Precision Engagement & Training sector of L-3
Electronic Systems. Supported by broad expertise in all aspects of
pilot training, these businesses offer a comprehensive suite of
tailored commercial training solutions across the globe. Services
include selection, cadet (ab initio) training, resourcing and
airline training (including recurrent, type rating and command
training) – all supported by market-leading simulation products
such as the RealitySeven FFS.
“We’ve had considerable success leveraging the capabilities
within L-3 CTS, combining our industry-leading products from L-3
Link UK and comprehensive training solutions from CTC Aviation,”
said Alan Crawford, president of L-3 Commercial Training Solutions.
“For example, our contract to supply Virgin Atlantic Airways with a
Boeing 787 training device and service now includes a provision for
instructional resources and capability from CTC Aviation. Also, we
have significantly expanded our training capability at L-3 Link
UK’s Crawley facility, where we provide both Airbus and Boeing
training. We look forward to showing both current and prospective
customers our A350 FPT at Farnborough, including the broad scope of
our CTS business and how it can give them a competitive edge in the
global marketplace.”
