AXIS Flight Simulation adds second qualified Level D CL350 simulator in US
It is the second FAA level D-qualified simulator, and AXIS's fourth training device overall in the US.
AXIS Flight Simulation has achieved FAA Level D qualification for a Bombardier Challenger CL350 full-flight simulator (FFS).
The simulator has been developed for LOFT, a California-based pilot training facility, which will primarily use it for initial type ratings, recurrent training, upset prevention and recovery training (UPRT) and area familiarisation.
Noel Yantos, CEO at LOFT said: “After operating simulators for almost 20 years, we’re impressed with the quality of AXIS’ Challenger 350 device. We’re excited to use this newly certified full Level D device to provide the boutique training experience LOFT is known for to a new set of clients.”
An AXIS customer since 2024, the specifications chosen by LOFT for the CL350 FFS include a Van Halteren motion system and RSi XT6 visual system, with a 200×45 field of view (FOV), as well as the Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced avionics system and the optional extra of steep approach capability.
Christian Theuermann, executive board member at AXIS, said: “Our qualification for LOFT marks AXIS’ fourth training device in the US. This region represents a notable growth area for AXIS, as an increasing number of aircraft operators and training organisations explore advanced flight training solutions for students and pilots.”
In addition to LOFT’s device, AXIS has also qualified a FAA Level D CL350 FFS in Ohio for Vista America, and in Austria for Austrian Aviation Academy under EASA.
