CAE will also perform a range of upgrades on Airbus-owned simulators.
The first FFS for the A350 XWB will be delivered in late 2012 to the Airbus training centre in France to support aircraft training developments and certification, as well as initial training of pilots for customers taking delivery of the aircraft.
The location of the second A350 XWB FFS installation is to be determined.
Airbus also holds an option for a third A350 XWB FFS and the agreement includes provisions for the placement by CAE of additional A350 simulators in its network as the market develops.
