Yesterday evening, a new simulator designed for Luxair's cabin crew and pilot emergency evacuation training (more commonly referred to as “Cabin Emergency Evacuation Trainer”), arrived in Luxembourg by special convoy during the middle of the night.
The dimension of the sizeable unit are 14.20 metres long, 3.76 metres wide and 2.65 metres high. The simulator is made from a Boeing 737-600 Next Generation cockpit, which used to belong to Scandinavian Airlines, and a Boeing 737-600 Next Generation fuselage, which used to be operated by Lauda Air and then Austrian Airlines.
The interior and exterior of the cabin have been fully adapted to Luxair Luxembourg Airlines specifications by the German manufacturer TFC-Käufer, which is specialised in designing and building simulators like this one.
The simulator will be used for initial and recurrent practical training courses for Luxair Luxembourg Airlines flight crew. Various types of training courses will be conducted thanks to the new tool, e.g. door training, fire training, on-board service, management of unruly passengers, first aid, etc.
It will be installed at the Cargolux Training Academy and will be operational from next February onwards. Third party airlines will also be able to rent the installation.
