July 17, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aviation students at the University of Southern Queensland are about to take off in a new flight simulator being installed this week.<\/p>\n

The nose and flight deck of an Airbus A320 with software to replicate the genuine machine is being housed in the new Aviation Education Precinct at the USQ’s Toowoomba campus.<\/p>\n

The simulator is in addition to the Boeing 737-800 simulator based at USQ Springfield.<\/p>\n

Vice-Chancellor Prof Geraldine Mackenzie officially received the keys to the new simulator from manufacturer PacSim on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis gives our aviation students a huge advantage,\u201d Prof Mackenzie said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAviation students will be able to experience flying in our new world-class Airbus 320 type simulator in their very first year of study.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt simulates the Airbus in every facet and is an ideal learning tool to teach the next generation of pilots to fly a jet and be airline ready.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The university\u2019s simulators features state-of-the-art equipment and technology, providing aviation students with real-world experience through multi-crew simulated training in an aircraft cockpit.<\/p>\n

The simulators are able to recreate an entire flight with both normal and abnormal scenarios, while completing all of the necessary checks and procedures in a real flight.<\/p>\n

PacSim Director Iain Pero said having the two replica aircraft simulators gave University of Southern Queensland students a leg up.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are really lucky at USQ as you have one of each. There are basically two camps – Boeing or Airbus – and USQ has covered both bases to give students the chance to be prepared flying in both,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the only university in Australia with that option \u2013 so it’s a very big bonus for USQ aviation students.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
