The building will be equipped with the latest, technologically advanced simulators to provide the best training for pilots, while using solar power to reduce energy consumption.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2023\/01\/emirates-operates-milestone-demonstration-flight-powered-with-100-saf-fuel.html\">Emirates operates milestone demonstration flight powered with 100% SAF fuel<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new building will be adjacent to the existing Emirates Training Facilities in Dubai, which will provide a great integration and close proximity to all the other pilot training centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pilot trainees will also benefit from being able to set-up and configure the cockpit environment using bespoke devices as part of the pilot training module and upload the data to the Full Flight Simulator (FFS) prior to commencing their training session. This innovative, first-of-its-kind concept is designed to shorten the trainee\u2019s preparatory time inside the simulator, help them maintain focus and take full advantage of the training duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the addition of the new building to Emirates\u2019 existing training colleges in Dubai, the airline will have the potential to expand its pilot training capacity by 54% per year. Across the airline\u2019s training buildings, Emirates&#8217; pilots will have increased flexibility and facilities to hone their flying skills with 17 full flight simulator bays offering a capacity of more than 130,000 training hours a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to modern training facilities for its flight deck crew, the airline offers a range of world-class training and development programmes for its workforce and for other aviation professionals. In Dubai, these include: the Emirates Flight Training Academy for cadets, Emirates Aviation University, Emirates Cabin Crew Training Centre, and numerous programmes specially created for different segments of its employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid
