Flight Simulator Manufacturer Simnest to Display A320 FNPT II MCC Device at European Airline Training Symposium 2024

Exhibitors and participants of this year’s European Airline Training Symposium (EATS) are invited to experience the Simnest A320 FNPT II MCC simulator firsthand. This unique opportunity will be hosted by the renowned International Flight Academy (IFA), one of Portugal’s leading aviation training institutions, located just 10 minutes from the exhibition venue.

As the saying goes, “the proof of the pudding is in the eating” – and this couldn’t be more true for flight simulators. While many Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) may appear similar on paper, the real test lies in the experience of flying one. Subtle differences in realism, handling, system operations, responsiveness, and overall performance can make a world of difference.

“After ten years of experience, I can confidently say that once you fly a Simnest simulator, you’ll leave with a smile of satisfaction. Our simulators consistently impress, and more often than not, a test session concludes with an order. That’s why we’re thrilled, in collaboration with our long-standing partner IFA, to offer this exclusive opportunity for selected EATS attendees to experience the Simnest A320 FNPT II MCC simulator firsthand,” said Balázs Herendi, CEO of Simnest Aviation.

The test flights will be held at the IFA training facility, located at Cascais Airport. Complimentary transport will be provided from the Estoril Congress Center to the academy. Each flight session will last approximately 90 minutes. Registration is open until October 25, 2024, and interested participants can secure their spot by emailing sales@simnest.com.

Don’t miss the chance to elevate your experience at EATS 2024 with a hands-on demonstration of one of the most advanced flight simulators on the market.

Simnest Aviation is a major player in the market for fixed-base FSTD manufacturers. The company has 21 A320-based simulators operating across 8 European countries, and their FMGS software is also used in North America and Asia. Their products, the Simnest A320 FNPT II MCC, its simplified version, the Simnest A320 AATD and the Simnest B737 FNPT II MCC simulators are designed to be nearly identical to the real aircraft, replicating every intricate detail. This perfected to the limit realism of their type-representative flight simulators has helped many ATOs worldwide to expand their training portfolios with one of the most sought-after training, the MPL, and the most preferred pre-airline training, the APS MCC (EASA).

About IFA
IFA is the flight school with the widest variety of aviation courses in Portugal. As aviation specialists, the school has trained thousands of pilots and cabin crews in the past 25 years, which are presently flying in several airlines around Europe, Asia and Africa.

ASTi Highlights Simulated ATC Environments (SATCE) at Flight Simulator Engineering and Maintenance Committee (FSEMC) 2024

ASTi, an industry leader in Simulated Air Traffic Control Environments (SATCE) for pilot training, will attend the Flight Simulator Engineering and Maintenance Committee (FSEMC) on October 7–10, 2024 at the Renaissance Tulsa Hotel & Convention Center in Tulsa, OK, United States of America. This year, ASTi submitted a discussion item for the “Innovation in Simulation” session titled “Simulated ATC Environments (SATCE) Adoption in Commercial Flight Training.”

This discussion item prompts industry to examine where new technologies like SATCE fit in flight training from regulatory and practical viewpoints. As runway incursions are happening with alarming frequency these days, it’s important to examine how the industry can shift training priorities to address the reality of these training failures. Which obstacles are keeping training programs from adopting SATCE? Are these decisions being made because of regulations that already—or do not yet—exist? And are these decisions in the best interest of commercial pilot training?

ASTi will also participate in a technology demonstration of its Simulated Environment for Realistic ATC (SERA) product hosted by FlightSafety International (FSI) at its manufacturing plant in Tulsa. SERA is integrated with a G500/600 Gulfstream business jet Level D full-flight simulator at the FSI facility. This demo will take place during the welcome reception on the evening of Tuesday, October 8th. Visitors must register by October 4, 2024 to attend this event

About ASTi
ASTi is the leading supplier of communications, automated ATC, and sound systems to the training and simulation industry. ASTi meets FAA, EASA, and equivalent Level D qualifications with simulators around the world. Since 1989, ASTi has fielded over 10,000 systems at more than 800 installation sites in the U.S. and 49 other countries.
