L-3 Communications To Supply Airbus Flight Simulator To ANA

 | Sep 21, 2016 09:28PM ET

L-3 Communications Inc. (NYSE:LLL) announced that its unit, Commercial Training Solutions (L-3 CTS), has received a contract from All Nippon Airways (ANA) to build and deliver an Airbus (OTC:EADSY) A320 Full Flight Simulator (FFS).

The flight simulator is a cost-effective way of training pilots in light of a potential surge in air travel over the next two decades.

First RealitySeven A320 FFS for ANA

The Airbus A320 FFS will be based on L-3 Communications’ RealitySeven flight training simulation solution and will be installed at ANA’s Tokyo, Japan training facility. The device will be ready to provide training to pilots starting Sep 2017.

The RealitySeven A320 FFS will join an existing RealitySeven B787 FFS at ANA’s training center. ANA’s existing fleet currently consists of aircraft manufactured by The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) and Airbus. So, training pilots in an A320 stimulator will help familiarize them with the real equipment.
