Flight Simulator Manufacturer AXIS Flight Simulation Qualifies Latest HUD and EVS Technology for Rega in May 2024

Leading provider of flight training solutions, AXIS Flight Simulation, has successfully qualified the Head-Up-Display (HUD) and Enhanced Vision System (EVS) for Europe’s first Bombardier Challenger CL650 Level D Full Flight Simulator (FFS), owned by Rega Swiss Air Rescue and operated by Lufthansa Aviation Training (LAT) in Zürich.

The FFS uses a rehosted Rockwell Collins ProLine 21 Fusion avionics system. CL650 pilots can now practice using a HUD and EVS system, helping improve visibility, situational awareness and operational safety while inflight.

Christian Theuermann, member of the executive board, AXIS Flight Simulation, says: “Achieving this qualification for Rega highlights our dedication to delivering high-quality training solutions which harness the latest technology. Alongside our recent launch of AX-D Flex, we have set a new benchmark for cockpit training efficiency and flexibility.”

AXIS Flight Simulation qualified Europe’s first Bombardier CL650 Level D Full Flight Simulator (FFS) for Rega in November 2023. Rega is also the first customer of AXIS Flight Simulation’s AX-D Flex, the first front-loading roll-on/roll-off system, announced in May 2024.

Middle East Pilot Training Organization Etihad Aviation Training to Install eVTOL Flight Simulator in 2024

  • The goal of the partnership with Etihad Aviation Training (“Etihad Training”) is to support Archer’s efforts to establish urban aircraft mobility operations across the UAE in coordination with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (“ADIO”), and other local partners, including Falcon Aviation and Air Chateau.
  • Archer and Etihad Training intend to collaborate together to recruit and train pilots to operate Archer’s Midnight aircraft.
  • Together, Archer and Etihad Training intend to engage with the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (“GCAA”) to establish an appropriate pilot training curriculum in the UAE to enable safe and efficient Archer eVTOL operations as soon as 2025.

Archer Aviation Inc., a leader in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Etihad Training that lays the groundwork for a partnership to recruit and train prospective pilots for Archer’s Midnight aircraft in Abu Dhabi to fly aircraft across the UAE. The MOU was announced at the start of the Future Aviation Forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where Archer is showcasing its Midnight aircraft for the first time in the country.

“Training a fleet of pilots to operate our aircraft is a critically important part of our efforts to establish a thriving urban air mobility network in Abu Dhabi and the rest of the UAE, and Etihad Training is the premier organization to partner with on this front,” said Archer’s Chief Commercial Officer, Nikhil Goel. “As Etihad Training’s first eVTOL partner, we will commence a thoughtful recruiting process and begin to train the first class of qualified pilots to operate Archer’s Midnight aircraft for commercial operations within the region.”

Etihad Training’s CEO, Captain Paolo La Cava, said: “Etihad Aviation Training today recruits and trains pilots to fly with dozens of global airlines. We couldn’t be more excited to choose Archer as our first eVTOL partner to recruit and train the first class of electric air taxi pilots to fly Archer’s Midnight aircraft right here in Abu Dhabi as soon as 2025. We look forward to installing the Archer Midnight flight simulator in our facilities later this year.”

As part of the planned partnership, Archer intends to deliver a Midnight aircraft simulator to be housed and staffed by Etihad Training at its training center in Abu Dhabi for research and development of pilot training competencies, to support the required regulatory certifications. Etihad Training will engage with the GCAA to establish appropriate pilot training requirements in the UAE all in support of safe and efficient operations of Archer’s aircraft.

Archer has been working with various entities within Abu Dhabi and Dubai to accelerate the operation of its air taxi services across the region. This announcement is yet another step in the development of Archer’s infrastructure within the region.

In late April, Archer and ADIO signed an agreement that accelerates Archer’s planned commercial air taxi operations in the UAE, slated to launch as early as next year. This includes in-country manufacturing, operations, and training across the region. This comprehensive agreement positions Abu Dhabi as one of the world’s leaders in promoting urban air mobility, with plans to commence air taxi operations with Archer’s Midnight aircraft as soon as next year.

Archer’s goal is to transform urban travel, replacing 60–90-minute commutes by car with estimated 10–20-minute electric air taxi flights that are safe, sustainable, low noise, and cost-competitive with ground transportation. Archer’s Midnight is a piloted, four-passenger aircraft designed to perform rapid back-to-back flights with minimal charge time between flights.
