Portugal flight simulator manufacturer FTD.aero completes Factory Acceptance Test of a B73M FNPT II MCC for International Flight Academy (IFA). The simulator demonstrated excellent performance across all tested areas, resulting in no findings or reservations, confirming its readiness for delivery and installation at IFA’s facilities in Viseu, Portugal.

The device features OEM flight controls with a state-of-the-art proprietary Control Loading System, as well as several advanced upgrades and OEM aircraft components, creating a highly realistic cockpit environment that closely replicates a modern twin-jet airliner.

Once installed and certified as EASA FNPT II MCC device, it will support immersive Airline Pilot Standard (APS) MCC trainings, offering pilots a highly realistic, airline-oriented multi-crew simulator environment.
