The new devices simulate the experience of flying in Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and are:

  • 1 Full Flight Simulator (FFS) 7000 XR, the most modern of its kind in Mexico and has the highest certification granted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). It has six-axis movement; the cockpit has the same dimensions and features as a real aircraft; 4K HD display of conditions very close to reality. Ideal for initial training (Type Rating), recurrent training (Recurrent Training) and extraordinary training.
  • 1 Flight Training Device FTD-2 with touch screens that simulate the aircraft cockpit, aircraft flight controls and is ideal for specific sessions that contribute to initial training (Type Rating).

“We are committed as an airline to continue strengthening ourselves and today that we are flying with new air, we present this great achievement that is a source of pride not only for us but for our country, because Mexico’s flagship airline now has twelve flight simulators as part of the investments to continue being the highest safety benchmark for customers and employees,” said Ernesto Garcia Tapia, Director of Aeromexico Training.
