Norway-based Flight School’s A320 Simnest Simulator Receives Qualification from Civil Aviation Authority

25th Jun 2024

Norway-based pilot training organisation Redflight Aviation is thrilled to announce that its Simnest A320 FNPT II MCC simulator has successfully passed the rigorous qualification process of the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority. This achievement not only means that future pilots in Norway will now benefit from Redflight’s top-notch simulator, but it also adds another member to Simnest’s pool of simulators qualified without any findings.

In February 2024 Redflight placed the order for the high-fidelity device and also purchased Simnest’s FSTD Operator Document Package and APS MCC Training Manual.

Redflight Aviation’s Mathias Slåttøy, the former student of Simnest Aviation’s pilot training organization, Simnest Pilot Academy, had a first-hand and in-depth experience with Simnest Aviation’s flagship product, the Simnest A320 FNPT II APS MCC simulator. “Mathias was highly satisfied with the Simnest simulators he trained on as a cadet. We received a lot of positive feedback from him about the device, which led us to contact Simnest Aviation first when making our purchase. The initial discussions were very positive, the site constraints were quickly addressed, and the excellent price/performance ratio confirmed our initial impressions. As a result, we signed the contract with Simnest Aviation without hesitation,” said Oddbjørn Steinar Brungot, the responsible manager at Redflight Aviation, about the background to the decision.

The qualification marks Simnest’s entrance into another country. “We have a special connection to Scandinavia, as we installed our very first Simnest A320 FNPT II MCC simulator in Denmark, which is a part of this region. So, in addition to Redflight Aviation being our first customer in Norway, this tie also adds to the significance of our agreement,” added Miklós Kacsó, CEO of Simnest Aviation.

About Redflight Aviation

Redflight Aviation was started in 2017 under a different name with intention of being an aircraft rental company. As demand grew it soon shifted its idea into becoming a “one stop shop” for flight training services, being able to care for all kinds of pilot training. Today the company keeps moving forward under the same idea, to provide any kind of training from basic flying and taildraggers all the way up to APS MCC, and hope to be delivering these service from spring 2024. The company has 5 aircraft stretching from the all-electric Pipistel Velis, up to the Piper M350 and Piper Seneca. And now also the Simnest A320 FNTP II MCC Simulator.

Their flagship product, the Simnest A320 FNPT II APS MCC simulator is designed to be type representative of the real Airbus A320, which provides a real airliner environment for the cadets. All this, hand in hand with the APS MCC training facility, means a straight path for students from aviation training organizations to commercial airlines. The in-house developed operating software of Simnest makes the work of head of trainings and instructors much easier, as it makes the simulator as easy to operate as a smartphone, without the need for technical staff.
