The first China-made Boeing 737 MAX full flight simulator, developed and manufactured by ACCEL, received interim Level C qualification from the CAAC.
At the time, the Boeing 737 MAX’s return to service was receiving close attention, and interim Level C was the highest qualification the CAAC could grant for a full flight simulator of that type. The device used a Boeing-approved data package that met Level D standards. ACCEL said it was ready to seek Level D qualification as the aircraft returned to service and would work with the regulator to support flight safety and provide a high standard of training.
ACCEL’s Boeing 737 NG, Airbus A320ceo and Airbus A320neo full flight simulators had already received CAAC Level D qualification and entered customer training service. The 737 MAX device’s interim Level C qualification added to that record. At the time, ACCEL said it was the only China-based training device manufacturer to have designed, qualified and delivered full flight simulators for mainstream aircraft from both Boeing and Airbus.
ACCEL said it would use its quality assurance and customer support capabilities to provide technology, products and services for additional civil aircraft types.
