Ankara, Turkey based flight simulator manufacturer HAVELSAN's Civil Flight Simulator Group's team attended three key events since the start of 2024 as it aims to increase its activities and support in the flight simulation industry. These events included:

• Airbus GO5 Symposium in Toulouse, France to gain insights into Airbus's market oversight and their simulation standards roadmap, as shared by the Airbus GO5 Team.
• Boeing Simulator Working Group Meeting in Seattle WA, USA to gain a comprehensive view of Boeing's updates and upcoming plans for Simulation Binaries and BSPs.

"These engagements served as exceptional platforms for fostering direct dialogues with regulatory bodies, operators, OEMs, and other TDMs, particularly strengthening our connections with Airbus and Boeing Simulation Teams. We extend our appreciation to EASA, SAE-ITC, Airbus GO5 Team and Boeing Simulation Teams in providing such valuable platforms for knowledge exchange and collaboration." shared M. Koray Basbilen, Technical Project Manager at HAVELSAN.

Earlier in April 2024 Turkish airline SunExpress shared that it had partnered with HAVELSAN for the supply of a Boeing B737NG flight training device (FTD Level II). The flight training device developed by HAVELSAN will provide SunExpress with a high-quality and efficient training capacity, successfully shaping the pilot training and learning experience. Similar to a full flight simulator, the FTD Level II will provide SunExpress pilots with ample opportunities to refine their skills towards high standards of excellence. The simulator is planned to be installed at the SunExpress Headquarters in Antalya by the end of 2024.

In March 2024 flight simulator solution provider and manufacturer HAVELSAN announced it is taking steps to ramp up activities to support airlines and training center operators with their pilot training requirements this includes the ability to manufacturer up to 8 full flight simulators (FFS) and 4 flight training devices (FTD) per year as well as support airlines and simulator training centers with their expansion plans through flexible solutions.

HAVELSAN’s orderbook includes device contract awards from a number of airlines including Turkish Airlines which placed an order for a total of eleven (11) full flight simulators and FTDs as well as full flight simulator operators.

Over the last few months, HAVELSAN delivered a number of Boeing B737MAX and Airbus A320 full flight simulators and achieved subsequent EASA certification of devices. It also collaborated with airline partners such as Turkish Airlines to support its airline customers with flexible solutions such as setting up a Turkish Airlines training center location in Ankara, Türkiye. HAVELSAN is especially putting focus on providing industry leading after sales support and discussing with customers long-term cooperation projects.
