Rome, Italy – flight simulator manufacturer FTD.aero-built A320 EASA FNPT II MCC device has been successfully installed at Roma Urbe Airport in Italy. This marks another great milestone in FTD.aero’s cooperation with Urbe Aero Flight Academy.

In December 2024, the simulator underwent comprehensive acceptance tests (scroll down for more details) and following that, it has been successfully installed at Urbe Aero’s training center at Roma Urbe Airport.

The certification from the Italian Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) is anticipated very soon and once certified, Urbe Aero ATO will be able to commence A320 training programs for aspiring airline pilots in a highly realistic APS MCC training environment.

Urbe Aero ATO has built a strong reputation for providing high-quality flight training in cooperation with major European airlines. The organization’s training programs are widely recognized across the industry, with cadets being trained on both the A320 and the previously delivered B73M FNPT II MCC simulators, both manufactured and installed by FTD.aero

Lorenzo Mezzadri, Accountable Manager of Urbe Aero Flight Academy, expressed enthusiasm about the new addition, stating that it enhances their capability to train pilots on aircraft commonly used by major airlines, thanks to the authentic, high-fidelity training experience offered by these state-of-the-art simulators. He also highlighted the productive collaboration with FTD.aero, noting their commitment to customer satisfaction.

This partnership ensures that Urbe Aero ATO’s students are prepared to meet the rigorous standards of leading airlines, contributing to aviation safety.
