Hungary’s Simnest Pilot Academy to Expand Simulator Fleet with B737 MAX Device from Simnest Aviation

Hungary — Simnest Pilot Academy has announced the upcoming addition of its first Boeing 737 MAX simulator, expanding its advanced training capabilities beyond its existing Airbus A320 simulator fleet. The new B737 MAX simulator, developed and manufactured by Simnest Aviation, will join the academy’s four A320 devices, allowing cadets and type-rated pilots to select their preferred aircraft platform for training and assessment.

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.
