New Flight simulator


For the delivery of the CRJ 1000 aircraft ordered by Air France subsidiary BRIT AIR and to meet the constantly growing demand of its client, ICARE - its aeronautical training center - ordered a flight simulator for the CRJ 700 and CRJ 1000 aircraft for Flight Safety International.
This major contract was signed April 30 during the World Aviation Training Show in Florida.

The simulator is equipped with the latest electric actuator technology and its Visual System to ensure that the cabin moves in six directions.
Scheduled for a late October delivery in Morlaix, the simulator should receive European certification in December 2009.
By updating its fleet of simulators and training methods, ICARE can now meet international demand from clients using CRJ aircraft.

CFS (Security Course Certificate)
 
 
In October 2008, ICARE has acquired the agreement as approved center to deliver the Security Course Certificate.
The obtaining of this European diploma is a pre-request to reach to a Flight Attendant job.
For the trainees who have acquired the CSS (course before CFS arrival), ICARE can propose the organization of courses only for complementary parts (E50 and H80)
In the same idea, trainees who have only acquired theoretical CSS can request to ICARE sessions to follow the practical part to reach CFS certificate.

GFS
 
 
ICARE is pleased to announce the acquisition and placement into service of their newest flight training device, a CRJ 200/700 Graphic Flight Deck Simulator (GFS) supplied by FlightSafety Simulation in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. This sophisticated training device is designed to teach familiarization and procedures, functioning as an intermediate step between classroom training and a full flight simulator. ICARE’s initial customer will be Britair.
 
The GFS is installed in ICARE’s Morlaix training center. It features convertibility from the 200 model to the 700 model at the touch of an icon and uses FAA Level D simulation models for both configurations. The GFS is primarily a graphical training device operated by the student through touchscreens. This CRJ 200/700 is also equipped with a hardware Auto pilot Guidance Panel for enhanced realism.
