Lufthansa launches 787 flight-training device from L3Harris

Lufthansa’s training division has emerged as the launch customer for a Boeing 787 fixed flight-training device designed to complement full-flight simulator activity. Lufthansa Aviation Training is acquiring the device from L3Harris Technologies, and is ordering a 787 full-flight simulator as part of the agreement. Both the flight-training device and the simulator will be delivered to the organisation’s centre in Frankfurt by the second half of 2022. Lufthansa ordered 20 787-9s in March and increased its commitment by a further five in May. “All training devices are convincing in daily training operations - not only for us, but also for our customers,” says Lufthansa Aviation Training managing director Matthias Spohr. He says the new 787 equipment will “significantly expand” the company’s portfolio, supporting training not only for the German carrier as it introduces a new aircraft type but also for third-party customers.<br/>
