FAA and EASA qualify first Boeing 777‑9 full‑flight simulators; courseware approval still required

The FAA and EASA have granted initial qualification to the world’s first Boeing 777‑9 full‑flight simulator, installed by CAE, marking a pivotal regulatory step for the 777X program. Regulators must still approve training courseware before pilot type‑rating instruction and airline training can commence.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Qualification of the first 777‑9 full‑flight simulator clears a major regulatory step toward 777X entry‑into‑service and reduces schedule uncertainty from earlier certification delays.
  • Courseware approval by FAA and EASA remains the gating item before pilot type‑rating and airline training can start; CAE's simulator qualification dovetails with its expanded CBTA training role, so operators and training providers should coordinate courseware submission and slot planning now.
