Plans have been advanced for the
opening of Emirates Flight Training Academy in October 2016 in partnership with
the famous Boeing, reports ITRealms.
Emirates Flight Training Academy, the new world class flight
training facility developed by Emirates airline is coming in response to the
industry’s growing need for pilots, just as the airline signed an agreement
with Boeing.
Under the deal, ITRealms gathered that both organizations will
collaborate on a comprehensive training curriculum and software infrastructure
to support Academy operations.
Also, ITRealms gathered that Emirates Flight Training Academy,
currently under construction at Al Maktoum International Airport- Dubai World
Central (DWC) and scheduled to open in October 2016, will combine best
practices in education with state of the art learning technologies and cutting
edge training aircraft.
Under the agreement with Boeing, Emirates Flight Training
Academy will receive an integrated software system, based on the Peters
Software system acquired by Boeing, for managing cadet learning and training
flight operations, and an enhanced curriculum customized for Emirates. Cadets
will learn with highly interactive digital content delivered in
purpose-designed classrooms and on personal tablets.
“Our programme is designed to produce career-ready pilots.
Exceeding regulatory requirements, the curriculum will, for instance, see
cadets complete at least 1,100 hours of ground and 315 hours of flight training
using a competency-focused approach. We are leveraging Boeing’s expertise in
airline pilot training to identify opportunities to enhance the Academy’s
curriculum,” said Captain Alan Stealey, Principal, Emirates Flight Training
Academy.
Emirates designed the Academy to promote advancements in four key
areas of pilot training: interactive learning for theoretical subjects in
classrooms, practical learning in the most capable training aircraft, practical
learning in advanced flight simulators, and airline-focused line-oriented
flight training. When fully operational, the Academy will be able to
accommodate over 600 students at a time.
Emirates recently placed an order for 27 aircraft allowing
ab-initio pilots to receive 100% of their training in the UAE at the most
advanced pilot academy in the world with a purpose-built learning environment
for developing professional pilots. Ab-initio pilots in the airline’s
long-running Emirates National Cadet Programme currently complete their
training at a variety of overseas locations. When the Academy opens its doors
later in the year, all aspects of pilot training for the airline will be
established in Dubai.
Emirates Flight Training Academy will initially focus on cadets
in Emirates’ existing prestigious National Cadet Pilot Training Programme for
UAE nationals. However, the Academy intends to welcome international cadet
pilots in the near future.
