Pan Am International Flight Academy (PAIFA) is continuing its expansion by ordering from CAE Electronics new British Aerospace RJ-85 and Saab 340 full flight simulators.

The Level D-standard Saab 340 simulator, equipped with a 180°-wide CAE MaxVue Plus visual system, will be delivered soon to PAIFA's new training centre in Memphis, Tennessee, where it will be used by Northwest Airlink and other airlines.

The RJ-85 simulator, also built to Level D standards, will be delivered to a new PAIFA training centre in the US Mid-West by January 2001, again for use by Northwest Airlink. This simulator will also be equipped with a 180°-wide MaxVue Plus visual system.

Miami-based PAIFA operates over 30 simulators and has opened or acquired training centres in Dulles, Cincinatti, Memphis, Orlando, Scottsdale and St Louis.
