New Report Sheds Light on the Increased Demand for New Flight Simulation-Based Training Systems Spurring Growth in the Global Civil Aviation Flight Training and Simulation Market

Monday 22 September 2014, Amsterdam

The Global Civil Aviation Flight Training and Simulation is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.61 percent during the period 2013-2018, according the new published report on ASDREports.com.

Flight simulators and training systems artificially re-create aircraft flight and the flying environment, thus providing the real flying experience. In civil aviation flight training, such flight simulator systems are mainly used for pilot training. These systems are mainly categorized as FFS and FTD. Compared with airborne training, flight simulation-based training reduces the cost of flight crew training as well as the impact on the environment.

“There is an increasing demand for civil aviation flight simulator systems, mainly FFSs, which complies with the rules and regulations of a particular national civil aviation regulatory authority,” says Faisal Ghaus, Vice President of TechNavio.

“Considering its long-term cost benefits and contribution to the improvement of aviation safety, the number of FFS systems being used is expected to rise.”
