Embry-Riddle Asia’s visits Boeing Singapore

We were fortunate that training resources were available during our visit, which meant we could experience several unique facilities. The highlight for many of us was stepping into the cockpit of a Boeing full flight simulator. It is a direct representation of the actual aircraft, and the realism was incredible. Every sound, movement and display made me feel as if I was truly flying.

We also explored the 787 procedural trainer, which is used in the early stage of pilot training. This gave us a closer look at how pilots first familiarise themselves with the systems before advancing to the full flight simulator. In addition, we visited the Maintenance Training Classroom, which features a 360-degree virtual tour of a 787 or 737 airplane. This tool allows engineers to learn repair techniques and locate equipment without needing access to a real aircraft, making training more accessible and cost-effective.
