The first state-of-the-art Airbus A320 FFS is ready for training in BAA Training Spain, the new pilot training centre located in Barcelona, 10 minutes away from El-Prat airport.
The Airbus A320 FFS manufactured by CAE is EASA UPRT CS-FSTD (A) issue 2 Level D approved and certified. It supports both CFM and IAE ceo engine types. It has the latest innovative Tropos 6000XR visual system, offering pilots an authentic visual feel. Many customized and generic scenes are available and tailored to airport characteristics. The FFS has been given a C Level airports certificate. The equipment is fully suited for completing the Upset Prevention Recovery Training, a mandatory part of Type Rating Training, Checking, and Recurrent Training.
BAA Training Spain expects five simulators to arrive by the end of 2021: 2 FFSs and 3 FTD Level 2 devices: Boeing B737 NG FFS in Q2 2021, Boeing B737 MAX FFS in Q2 2021, A320ceo FTD Level 2 in Q3 2021, B737 MAX FTD Level 2 in Q4 2021, B737 NG FTD Level 2 in Q4 2021.The facility is set to meet the needs of 16,000 pilots per year and has room for 11 simulator bays. All of them will be getting occupied in the years to follow, responding to the market needs.
BAA Training seeks to execute cost reduction, and the objective is to be achieved by introducing a customer-centered solution to distribute the Type Rating program’s training components between two sub-variants of simulation devices – full flight simulators (FFS) and fixed training devices (FTD) on a 50/50 ratio. Consequently, the customers’ savings can reach up to 40% for each training hour where an FTD replaces an FFS.
Speaking about the novelty, Aurimas Urbonas adds: "A strong emphasis on driving customer value will not only aid companies during the period of economic disruptions but also transform into a long-term, customer-centered strategy that allows everyone to stay laser-focused on achieving more by spending less.“
