Airbus has ordered an additional two flight training simulators from Thales for the AM400 military transport aircraft crewmen of the French and German air forces.
Both simulators are designed to prepare A400M crews for missions such as in-flight refueling and low-level tactical operations, Thales said Tuesday.
Thales has delivered A400M full flight simulators and a pair of flat panel flight training equipment to France, Germany, U.K. and Airbus’ international training center in Seville, Spain.
