My friend for the day is Adrian, hi Adrian. Hi. How long have you been open here for
basically it's since december 2019 we've started the simulator training used to send out guys you
know to australia and singapore as well but now we're able to just uh do it here at home
we got two full flight simulators and uh two fixed base all right so where are we going to
start we'll start with the cabin crew clusters upstairs so we're doing some service training
good morning i feel like i'm at school i've been bad i'm at the front of the class
what's happening in this classroom so basically right now we're running new entrant uh cabin crew
training right now we're just going in jumping into the fundamental areas of cabin standards as
well as in-flight service procedures how long are you guys in this in this classroom for 12
years 12 days and counting 17 hours 15 minutes 32 seconds and who's the naughtiest in the class
why is everyone pointing at you
i would love something i hear you make a great bloody mary
thank you so your teacher told me to say that because apparently you've just learned how to
make them so i'm really sorry i'll just have a water just a waterspout
okay so that was um cabin training what did you call that
service training service training that was service training and this is safety training
we're doing the aircraft type doors for the a350 yes is that the aircraft that you're looking to
fly on yes and then what what role would you want to do um i'd like to be at door to left
because you left yeah is there anywhere in particular that fiji flies to that
you'd like to travel to uh in japan japan yeah yes for the food right because she's
associated yes who talks during the class who's like the loud one oh my friend here
so how long are you going to be in this class for how long did this last for four weeks how long
before do you think you're actually going to be on an aircraft serving idiots like me with cameras
how long do you think that will be so after our safety training i will have our service week which
will be for two weeks and after that um we'll be ready to fly interview why does dominic want to
talk what do you have to say oh nice to meet you oh thank you so you've got the wings at the back
as well yeah pretty much the angel at the back and so these are the books you're working with as well
yes this is our manual a training manual or we could call this a bible we have at least four to
five weeks left until we actually own a board but yes i cannot wait to fly yeah the next four five
weeks brilliant good luck with it thank you so much and thank you for being part of my film thank
you so much nice to meet you too what is this hydrant this is a 350 slide trainer so it's more
from the tail uh retail entrance exact same height you see from the aircraft is what's accommodated
for in here and so these are the students who we just saw in the classroom a second ago
and they're going to be demonstrating an evacuation procedure that's correct
how many students then would you have in each class and how many would you start off with at the
beginning about 800 and then we've scaled down to just 30 that have made it through and so we've had
about two classes in here today so these guys have just been going through for about two weeks
it's it's a rigid testing program for them so these are kind of these are the top of the top
now these are the ones that you want to carry forward and actually eventually we'll be on
real aircraft working for you guys yeah and now a demonstration of a ground evacuation with samantha
emergency emergency grab your echo
release seat belts remain seated right here
stay calm right here step down we're waiting for further instructions from the captain
you stand here but throw the passengers repeat my command so let anyone come through exactly yes
does anyone need my assistance come on come on is there anybody
that needs my help hold up go home to go equipment grabbing safety first aid
grabbing beacon grabbing glove handler cc one evacuating door one left
having this here in fiji we wanted to also showcase to our local children you know
opportunities for for flying or employment within fiji airways so it's something unique you can come
in here and as a as a school group and look at the simulators in action right there god if i
was a school kid and i could come somewhere like this and look at that that is brilliant
i'm sorry jim your title your captain captain yes i should have told by the
stripes on your shoulder sorry my apologies i should show some more respect in your carpet
okay we've departed now leveled off at 4 000 feet
and captain jim's now just about to enter the holding pattern
looks like we're doing a teardrop entry into the holding pattern and then back to the airport
the immersiveness in the sim is incredible if you have to really look around the corner to see
like you can just see the edge of the screen but if you're looking out your peripheral vision
vision out the front of the cockpit and with the motion as well
like it's a stupid thing to say but it really feels like you're in the cockpit of a 737.
something in the boxes okay thank you so i did already land this plane and i
just want everyone to acknowledge that i landed it well but we didn't record it so
i'm going to do it again now if this is terrible i'll edit this out the entire
put the video in the box okay keep crossing the bottom crossing the box
okay when it moves up you're moving it should i be looking here or out front here
