The United States Air Force is seeking information from qualified vendors capable of providing a new, Level D certified, Full Motion Simulator. This simulator must meet all applicable regulatory requirements and provide realistic and immersive training for pilots transitioning to, or maintaining currency, in the 747-8i aircraft. The simulator should be a new build, not a refurbished or an upgraded existing system.
