747-8F Full-Flight Simulator
In May 2012, Cargolux introduced its own Boeing 747-8 Freighter full-flight simulator at their training center in Luxembourg. It is the world's first full-flight simulator for this aricraft type.
Cargolux also employs a suite of classroom training equipment for the 747-8 which uses the same high fidelity simulation software as the full-flight simulator.
The integration of the new Boeing 747-8F full-flight simulator and associated classroom training equipment has created an enhanced flight crew training environment at Cargolux. The new state-of-the-art electric motion system provides more accurate and authentic motion cues than the hydraulic system used on the company’s 747-400F FFS. The enhanced visual system generates a highly detailed synthetic visual environment to train pilots under the most difficult flight conditions.
