Norwegian airline Braathens ASA has ordered a Boeing 737-800 full-flight simulator from CAE Electronics.
The simulator, which is equipped with the CAE MaxVue Plus visual system, is to enter service in August 2000, in the Braathens training centre at Oslo's new Gardemoen Airport.
US Airways, meanwhile, has ordered an Airbus A330 full-flight simulator from CAE, also with MaxVue visual. It is scheduled for delivery to the airline's Charlotte, North Carolina, training centre in October 1999. The airline ordered threeA320 simulators from CAE earlier this year.
CAE says the new contracts have taken its full-flight simulator sales for the year to 24, out of 33 orders placed worldwide. The Canadian company also says it has won 25 of the 39 commercial visual system orders placed so far this year.
