Embraer has announced an agreement to provide C‑390 Millennium training devices to the air forces of Sweden and Austria.
The Swedish Air Force will receive a comprehensive training package, including a Full Flight Simulator (FFS), a Cargo Handling Station Trainer (CHST) developed in partnership with Rheinmetall, and a Computer-Based Training (CBT) solution developed with ETI.
The Austrian Air Force will receive a Computer-Based Training (CBT) solution to support theoretical instruction and crew qualification.
The set of training devices will provide pilots, loadmasters, crew members, and maintenance personnel with modern, high-fidelity training environments designed to maximise operational readiness and mission effectiveness across their C‑390 Millennium fleets, according to Embraer.
“Delivering advanced training capabilities to our European C‑390 Millennium operators reinforces Embraer’s commitment to mission readiness and operational excellence over the long term,” President and CEO of Embraer Services & Support, Carlos Naufel, stated.
“Together with our partners, we are building a comprehensive training ecosystem that enables Sweden and Austria to maximize the C‑390 Millennium’s capabilities, while strengthening their interoperability and commonality.”
The Full Flight Simulator, designed to achieve Level D qualification, enables training under normal, abnormal, and emergency conditions, supports military mission scenarios, and incorporates more than 350 malfunctions for pilot training. The simulator offers a highly immersive environment while maintaining ease of operation and supportability, Embraer claims.
The Cargo Handling Station Trainer provides comprehensive training for loadmaster procedures and cargo operations. Utilising advanced visualisation technology, it offers realistic representations of both the cargo compartment and the external aircraft environment, supporting mission preparation and execution training.
Finally, the Computer-Based Training solution delivers theoretical instruction for pilots, loadmasters, additional crew members, and maintenance personnel through a Learning Management System compatible with SCORM standards, enabling flexible and efficient training delivery.
