Addis Ababa (CNN) CNN has gained access to the flight simulator and manual used to train the pilots of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, which crashed earlier this month and killed all 157 on board. At the Ethiopian Airlines' aviation academy in Addis Ababa, roughly 4,000 pilots-in-training spend years learning the ropes, and veteran captains catch up on new systems twice annually. In the facility, simulator cockpits lurch and weave on tripods, giving trainees the opportunity to safely re-create flight conditions of all sorts. A single simulator session lasts four hours.
