Havelsan's latest Airbus A320 full flight simulator will undergo and complete factory acceptance test in December. Following the tests, the company will initiate the certification process for the device, making the simulator ready for training at the beginning of 2024.

Havelsan previously signed a contract with Turkish Airlines for the procurement of a total of 11 A320 CEO NEOs and Boeing 737 Max full flight simulators (FFS) and FTD’s. Following the EASA certification of two Boeing B737MAX full flight simulators, Havelsan and Turkish Airlines announced the opening of the new Turkish Airline Training Center within Havelsan’s premises.

With the latest development of the company aiming to complete the FAT’s, Havelsan is scaling up its solutions to support airline customers for their pilot training requirements.

"We believe that the Factory Acceptance Tests for our A320 FFS will be conducted successfully and will pass the tests, enabling us to complete our final preparations for the delivery." stated Dr. Mehmet Akif Nacar, CEO of Havelsan.

Havelsan is planning to achieve EASA certification for its Airbus A320 CEO/NEO FFS to showcase the global airlines and pilot training industry that it can provide world-class Turkish manufactured narrow body aircraft flight simulators.
