Air India has signed an agreement on Tuesday with CAE to procure a brand new ATR 72-600-212 A Level 'D' full flight simulator for its Central Training Establishment located in Hyderabad.

This is expected to be received here in the last quarter of 2017.

The agreement was signed at Central Training Establishment Hyderabad by Amitabh Singh, ED (Training) and Jean-Paul Carrier, Marketing and Sales Manager, CAE Middle East, according to a statement.

The Simulator, with the latest all-electric motion system, provides more accurate and authentic cues for pilot training.

The Full Flight Simulator will be installed at CTE headquarters along with the existing two A320 simulators.

With the addition of this new generation simulator, Air India will now be able to put on fast track the comprehensive training provided to its pilots with the latest technology and can also extend it to third party.
