Brand new Thales RealitySeven Boeing 777 Full Flight Simulator purchased by PIA being installed at PIA Training Centre (PTC) in Karachi.

In June 2009, PIA signed an agreement with Thales for the purchase of a new Boeing 777-300ER Full Flight Simulator (FFS) Level D and associated options.

Thales’s new RealitySeven FFS is based on a modular design, with a common core element independent of the aircraft type. Different aircraft modules can effectively be ‘swapped’ out, as a customer’s fleet or training business needs change, without the entire simulator needing to be replaced and without the need for further investment.

Presently PIA has nine Boeing 777 aircraft in its fleet
