The display will be installed on the CAE-developed CC-295 FFS, which is part of the comprehensive training programme to prepare RCAF aircrews for their missions in the new CC-295 aircraft built by Airbus Defence and Space.
Rockwell Collins Canada managing director Lee Obst said: “This is a programme that helps save the lives of thousands of Canadians each year, and working with CAE and Airbus on training will be a critical component for the RCAF’s success.
“The configuration flexibility and enhanced realism of the Panorama display will help better prepare pilots for the new platform.”
The display has been designed for simulators that require a wide field of view, cross-cockpit views and side-by-side training.
