<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nRene Don, Flight Simulator Project Lead at MAF International, said: \u201cWe are very excited and proud to officially announce our partnership with Euramec for our next-generation Flight Sim solution of the Cessna C208B Caravan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInvestment in this simulator will also bring cost and environmental benefits because it significantly reduces the number of hours in the air during training.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The simulator, to be based in the Netherlands, will contribute to MAF\u2019s aim of cutting carbon emissions, in proportion to its flying, by 30% by 2035.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bert Buyle, CEO EURAMEC, said: “Euramec worked out a unique concept that caters exactly to the training needs for MAF pilots. The main flight training device (FTD) comes with a high-fidelity visual system with extended vertical views to allow for maximum immersion in the uniquely tough terrain MAF pilots operate in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These remote areas are not readily available in legacy databases; Euramec will deliver tailor-made scenery with exact renderings of the airstrips and airfields MAF operates in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Euramec C208B FTD will initially be certified at EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) FTD2 level, and the device will receive a 6 degrees-of-freedom motion system to enhance the flying characteristics. World-class flight-testing data forms the basis of the flight model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Euramec will also provide a virtual reality (VR) part-task trainer. This system will be an additional Part-Task Trainer. Special features will include eye tracking and other tools bringing advanced technology to a traditional field as flight training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Euramec partners with Multisim from the Netherlands for the VR training solution and Multisim’s D-Sim and D-World software suite as an interface between the various simulator components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The MAF International C208B Caravan Flight Training Device is expected to be up and running at Teuge International Airport by the end of 2025. A second C208B Simulator platform is planned to be installed in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe visuals of this sim will be next generation,\u201d said Rene Don. \u201cIt\u2019s where the industry is going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe ground modelling is better than typical airline industry sims. MAF flies to the remotest corners of the earth and it\u2019s important we can train our pilots for these environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur highest safety risk is runway collisions with animals, vehicles etcetera. The simulator will contain special animations to train for these scenarios.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
