Czech Republic – ELITE Simulation Solutions is pleased to announce the successful installation and certification of an Airbus A320 FNPT II MCC APS training device for F AIR Flight School, a highly reputable training organisation founded in 1990 and based in the Czech Republic.

The device, designed, manufactured, and certified by ELITE, has achieved full compliance under the EASA CS-FSTD(A) FNPT II MCC APS category and has received an impeccable evaluation from the Czech Civil Aviation Authority, confirming that there were no findings following a thorough inspection. The ELITE Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD) passed every check flawlessly.

ELITE’s A320 FNPT II MCC APS incorporates advanced avionics and hardware including dual Primary Flight Displays (PFD), Multi-Function Displays (MFD), functional OEM Airbus sidesticks, circuit breaker panels, and full system integration. It is optimized to support a wide range of airline pilot training scenarios, from Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC APS) courses to type-rating preparation.

F AIR Flight School, founded in 1990 as the first private flight school in the Czech Republic and Central & Eastern Europe, has earned a leading position in professional pilot training. Holding full EASA ATO approval (certificate No. 001), the school trains over 2900 commercial pilots from more than 45 countries, achieving a high training completion rate. Operating from three bases, Prague/Benešov, Karlovy Vary, and Brno, it offers comprehensive pilot training throughout the region.
