British Midland (BMA) has selected Thomson Training &Simulation (TTS) to supply an Airbus A320 full-flight simulator, to support its purchase of 20 A320/A321s. The device is scheduled to be installed alongside a TTS-produced Boeing 737 simulator at the airline's training centre in late 1998.
CAE Electronics, meanwhile, has sold a Boeing 737-700/800 full-flight simulator to SBG of Mönchengladbach, Germany, a joint venture between the airport authority and RWL, which already operates a CAE-built 737-300/400/500 simulator. The device will be delivered at the end of 1998.
The British Midland A320 simulator will be equipped with an Evans & Sutherland ESIG-3350 visual system. CAE, meanwhile, has been selected by FedEx to supply two MaxVue Plus visual systems, with an option to purchase additional units.
