Using flight simulators for pilot training
L3Harris Airline Academy offers a range of pilot training courses, which are regulated by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Each year, the company takes on hundreds of cadets with little or no previous flying experience and trains them to become commercial airline pilots. We sat down with Dave Coward, Vice President and General Manager, to learn about its training programme and how the company uses flight simulators to enhance pilot training.
