SuperJet International (SJI) – a joint venture between Alenia Aeronautica, a Finmeccanica
Company, and Sukhoi Holding – has completed Flight Crew Training Course for Aeroflot
pilots at its Training Center facility in Moscow.
The “Type Rating course for Aeroflot pilots†on the SSJ100, conducted by SJI Staff Pilots,
had a duration of 24 days.
The courses involved three flight crews (6 pilots) in classroom sections which required the
use of CBT (Computer Based Training), the FTD (Flight Training Device) level 5, based in
Zhukovsky (Moscow Region) with the aim of FPTD (Flight Procedure Training Device).
In-flight training has been also accomplished by the use of SSJ100 Serial Number 5. Upon
training completion, Aeroflot Crews have been certified by Federal Air Transport Agency
(Ministry of Transport of Russian Federation).
“I am proud and honored to be one of the first airline pilots who took to the air the new
Russian aircraft – states Eugene Voronin, Chief of the Aeroflot SSJ100 pilots team – the
aircraft is reasonably easy to control. I was really impressed and I greatly appreciated its
cockpit. The SSJ100 fully differs from the cockpit of any other Russian aircraft. It is
comfortable, spacious, with wonderful onboard field of view and a side-stick instead of
control column. I am sure that our passengers will enjoy the flight on the SSJ100 as wellâ€.
“It is a major step ahead for SuperJet International – states Mr. Carlo Logli Chief Executive
Officer – This proves that SJI Training Team is ready to provide training courses on SSJ100
type to pilots, flight attendants and maintenance staff of airlines in Russia and in other
countries. Specific training programs for Aeroflot pilots have been developed in order to
ensure the right entry level training. The initial training activities have been performed
through the support of Sukhoi test pilots and the SJI international team of top-level flight
and maintenance instructors. SuperJet International is working hard in order to meet
Customers needs and maximize the aircraft’s availability. I am confident that the set up of a
professional and experienced Training Organization will guarantee a smooth entry into
service of the SSJ100â€.
