Prodigy Avia Solutions is establishing a new Independent Simulator Training Center for West and Central Africa – Prodigy Aviation Training Centre (PATC) – which will start operations in Accra, Ghana, in 2021 with a Boeing B737 Classic Full Flight Simulator subject to GCAA initial certification.
Following last November’s announcement together with the African Airlines Association (AFRAA) of the plan to establish a training center, the Prodigy Avia Solutions Team has worked with a number of African Airlines, the Ghana Government and international strategic partners the meet the timeline of starting operations in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The four-bay simulator training center will start operations with a Boeing B737 Classic Full Flight Simulator, and the management team is currently in advanced discussions to bring two more devices in 2021.
The new independent training center will bring critical pilot training infrastructure to the African continent, which is suffering not only from an underdeveloped simulator training infrastructure but also pandemic-related travel restrictions which are affecting the airline training plans of several operators.
Prodigy Aviation Solutions will share details over the coming weeks on its website about the training center facilities, regional and international partnerships, additional training courses which will be offered by the center and the additional simulators being planned.
