What is the CMA-9000?

“No,” Elena said, standing up. “It’s finally at rest.”

Consider a first officer transitioning from a regional jet (using a different FMS brand) to a Boeing 757 equipped with the CMA-9000. The pilot dedicates 10 hours to a CMA 9000 FMS simulator over two weeks. By day one of ground school, they are already proficient in building routes, entering performance data, and programming VNAV descents. Consequently, they pass their oral exam with ease and require 30% less time in the full-motion simulator—saving their airline $4,500 in training costs.
