MUNICH, Germany - Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft developer, Lilium N.V. has formally announced the beginning of a partnership with professional aviation training company, FlightSafety International (FSI). The rapidly approaching implementation of urban air mobility(UAM) technology is a paradigm shift that will provide a new set of challenges for pilots. As such, it is critical that pilots are properly trained to fly the new electric aircraft.
The agreement establishes FlightSafety as the exclusive developer and provider for flight training devices for the Lilium Jet. These flight trainers will include mix-reality simulators for training in mock-Lilium Jets in order for pilots to familiarize themselves with the cockpit. The simulator, known as the e-Sim, will be integrated into Lilium’s ground-based aircraft systems integration laboratory (SiLab), and used by Lilium teams as part of testing and certification of the Lilium Jet. In addition to the simulators, FSI will develop training programs, including online training modules, for qualification of future Lilium pilots and mechanics. Plans call for these training programs to be avaliable globally, with a variety of languages seemingly supported.
FSI operates the world’s largest fleet of advanced full-flight simulators at Learning Centers and training locations in the United States, Canada, France, and the United Kingdom. FSI has manufactured simulators for Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Embraer, and many other commercial aircraft manufacturers. FSI’s training devices are approved by the FAA, EASA, and other aviation regulatory authorities worldwide.
