Pan Am Flight Academy Upgrades A330 Full Flight Simulator to Standard 2.5 in 2026

Florida, USA – Miami-based simulator training provider Pan Am Flight Academy has upgraded its Airbus A330 Level D Full Flight Simulator from Standard 2.4 to Standard 2.5, updating its Honeywell and Thales flight management systems and enabling RNP AR capability.

• The CAE-manufactured A330 simulator is an FAA Level D device located at Pan Am Flight Academy's Axis Park facility in Hialeah, Florida. It supports Rolls-Royce Trent 772B-60, General Electric CF6-80E1A3 and Pratt & Whitney PW4170 engine configurations and uses a six-axis electric motion system and CAE Tropos 6200 visual system.
• Pan Am acquired and relocated the device from Bahrain to Florida in 2024. It was initially installed with Airbus Standard 2.4, Thales and Honeywell flight-management capability, TCAS 7.1, EGPWS and UPRT functionality before entering training operations later that year.
• The A330 FFS received EASA qualification in 2026 in addition to its existing FAA qualification, allowing the device to support customers operating under the European regulatory framework.
