Advanced Cockpits for Airline Pilot Training
CTC Makes Advanced Cockpits Standard for Airline Pilot Training
On Friday, 1 October, CTC Aviation Group plc (CTC) took delivery of three new aircraft at its Crew Training Centre in Hamilton, New Zealand.
The three new Cessna aircraft have been especially fitted with Garmin 1000 glass cockpits, which is an extremely sophisticated cockpit that replicates that in today’s modern passenger jet aircraft.
With the delivery of the new aircraft, CTC will replace older aircraft and make the Garmin 1000 glass cockpit its training standard.
CTC Aviation Training (NZ) Limited CEO, Ian Calvert, says “CTC is the only airline training organisation in New Zealand – and one of only a few worldwide - that has made the Garmin 1000 glass cockpit its training standard.
“This cockpit replicates the exact experience our cadets will have once they graduate and begin flying a jet airliner. Using the Garmin 1000 in our training aircraft means students get an advanced training experience from very early on in their programme. At CTC we waste no time in getting our cadets used to the jet aircraft experience,” explains Mr Calvert.
