Two years after establishing a business case for developing and manufacturing a full-flight simulator for the CL-415 water bomber, TRU Simulation + Training has delivered the level-D-qualified simulator to Ansett Aviation Training’s facility in Milan, Italy. “What’s really quite extraordinary is the training on these aircraft [to date] is completely done in the aircraft,” TRU v-p of technology and innovation Thomas Allen told AIN. “From a safety point of view, this is obviously causing some concern, and also from a quality of training point of view. So we saw a business case for producing a simulator for an aircraft there’s not a large volume of.”
