New Certified Simulator Elevates Pilot Training in Istanbul

Austro Control issued a compliance certificate to IFTC, marking the successful qualificationof their brand new FNPT II MCC compliant pilot training device. Both IFTC, the flight training center with Approved Training Organization (ATO), and Aviatify, the responsible manufacturer are happy to commemorate this significant achievement.

In recent days, inspectors from Austro Control have, on behalf of EASA, meticulously evaluated the Aviatify device including all necessary documentation. Based on their findings, the authorities have now wholeheartedly issued the Certificate of Compliance to IFTC. The Paragon3 is now available to IFTC customers to perform bridge training, procedure training, pre-type rating training and (APS) MCC training.

“Aviatify is extremely proud to have their FNPT II MCC now operable at a reputed organization like IFTC and is thankful to all professionals in Istanbul for their support, professionalism and constructive contributions to this project. In addition, we have created a pleasant, ergonomic and productive working environment for instructors and operators. With the Paragon Series we have introduced a simulator concept that raises the bar and will further close the gap between Fixed Base training capabilities and typical Full Flight training syllabi,” says Frank van de Laar, Commercial Director of Aviatify.

“We are extremely satisfied with this acquisition. The A320 FNPTII device from Aviatify will significantly enhance our training programs, providing our students with the best possible tools to succeed in their aviation careers. The EASA certification further validates the quality and reliability of this device, and we are excited to integrate it into our training programs,” concludes Cengiz Arbaç, General Manager of IFTC.
