The contractor will also provide product support, training, and maintenance, and be responsible for the removal of an existing Airbus A330 simulator. Key simulator specifications include Proline Fusion Avionics, Autothrottle, electric motion actuators, and specific software capabilities for Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT), Full Stall, and various environmental simulations.
