薩凡納,GA, United States, Feb 15, 2012 - ( JCN Newswire ) - 灣流航空公司(Gulfstream Aerospace)及飛安國際公司(FlightSafety International)於今日宣布香港商務機飛行模擬學習中心正式開業。中心將首次在亞洲使用D 級全程飛行模擬器培訓灣流G450 型和G550 型飛機的駕駛員。此前一直在美國進行的飛行培訓現移駐新開業的香港飛行學習中心,將使飛行員和航空技師在學習上更得近水樓台之便。
香港和中國大陸共有80 架上下的灣流飛機在運營,整個亞太地區則有175 架。灣流公司在該地區擁有不可小覷的市場份額,大型商務噴氣機的佔有率達48%。
“我們很高興能夠攜手飛安公司為飛行員和飛行學員們提供培訓,”灣流公司總裁Larry Flynn 表示。 “這是亞洲首個專門用於商務噴氣機駕駛員培訓的模擬器,另外,作為該地區領先的市場參與者,我們對啟動這項培訓充滿期待。”
投運新模擬器表明,灣流與飛安兩大公司已開始攜手爭取該地區增長迅速的客戶群。過去五年,飛安為當地灣流飛機駕駛員提供的培訓活動增加了230%。 2011 年的課程數量達4000 場,包括700 場面向飛行員、維修技師和航空專業人士等灣流飛機運營者及後勤服務者的課程。
可互換的灣流G450 和G550 模擬器配備灣流公司最新的飛行模擬技術,包括VITAl X 目視系統及電子傳動與操控加載技術。
“G450 和G550 是我們在亞洲最受歡迎的機型之一,這有賴於二者的州際飛行能力、迅捷的速度,以及高度的可靠性和舒適感,” Flynn說道, “G450 能夠以0.80馬赫的速度航行8061 公里,可承運香港至莫斯科或香港至珀斯的航線; G550 的航程則達到12501 公里,可以輕鬆搭載八名乘客和四名機組成員,往來香港至檀香山或香港至巴黎的航線。”
