Hungary’s Simnest Pilot Academy Announces New B737MAX Simulator Investment – Installation in 2026

Hungary — Simnest Pilot Academy CEO Kuhtreiber Gyula has announced that the pilot training organisation will add its first B737MAX device in 2026.

Earlier this year Simnest Pilot Academy had reported a major milestone: by September 2025, its four A320 FNPT II MCC simulators have logged over 30,000 operating hours across 7,113 training sessions.

• Of those sessions, 1,998 were MCC (Multi‑Crew Cooperation) and 3,787 were APS MCC (Airline Pilot Standard MCC).
• 1,440 APS MCC sessions were delivered specifically to Wizz Air cadets.
• The academy achieves all training using simulators alone—no live single‑ or multi‑engine aircraft are used—underscoring its full‑simulation model.
• Simnest’s simulator fleet includes APS‑ready FNPT II MCC devices tuned for A320 operations.
