Armavia and Aeroflot crews will train on the first Thales-built full-flight Superjet simulator in Paris in June. Aeroflot has already qualified six instructor pilots, whose training has included 8h in the aircraft-typically 15 flights - after some 24h of non-motion simulator time. Initial tests included demonstrating the protected envelope at heights up to 10,000ft (3,000m) and during low-speed flights at high angles of attack, around 25-27°.
