Embraer and Rheinmetall are in discussions to expand their training network with a focus on the C-390. The aim is to evaluate the needs of the increasing number of C-390 European customers with respect to training and decide on the development of a dedicated training center in the region, supporting existing and future C-390 customers.
Currently, there is an Embraer C-390 Training Center in Brazil, in the state of São Paulo, featuring a Full Flight and Mission Simulator (FFMS) and a Loadmaster Training Station, where Brazilian, Portuguese, and Hungarian Air Forces C-390 crews have their initial training. Embraer and Rheinmetall aim to analyze ways to increase proximity with their current and future C-390 customers to ease the training for pilots, loadmasters, mechanics, and additional crew members.
