UAE-based Spatial Composite Solutions, a leading provider of cabin crew training simulators, has been selected by New Caledonia's flag carrier Aircalin to manufacture a Cabin Emergency Evacuation Trainer (CEET) and Cabin Service Trainer (CST).

The hybrid A320 / A330 CEET will enable Aircalin’s cabin crew to be comprehensively trained in all safety and emergency procedures (SEPs) for both aircraft types including door and exit operation, evacuation procedures and fire and smoke training. Custom-designed to provide a hyper-realistic training environment, the simulator will include a sound simulation system, window visuals and dual land training slide – all controlled by an easy-to-use, intuitively designed Instructors Operator Station (IOS).

Manufactured to meet Aircalin’s exact crew service training requirements, the A330 CST will ensure that trainees fully understand the passenger cabin layout and cabin systems of this aircraft type by familiarising them with cabin lighting, call lights, communications system, galley, lavatories and business and economy class seating. The highly realistic training environment will ensure Aircalin’s crew are effectively trained to deliver the highest levels of on-board service and cabin management.

Once completed, the two simulators will be shipped and installed at Aircalin’s crew training facility in New Caledonia.

Marc Van den Broucque, managing director at Spatial, said: "We’re thrilled to have won this contract with Aircalin to provide them with two state-of-the-art training simulators which will further support their already excellent cabin crew training programme.”

Jean-David Rolland, head of Cabin Crew at Aircalin, said: "The customised Airbus 320/330 combi CEET and A330 CST designed by Spatial will have the latest-generation cabin options. These advanced training devices will provide even more quality and effectiveness to our operations. Our excellent partnership with Spatial goes beyond delivering training devices and software by supporting the design of training facilities and infrastructure and providing real expertise. These ultra-reliable, high quality simulators will allow our customers to fully enjoy safe flight operations and the ultimate flying experience from New Caledonia ’s flagship airline." - TradeArabia News Service
