HAVELSAN Delivers FFS with Acceptance Test Underway

HAVELSAN has delivered in May an Airbus A320 full flight simulator (FFS) to the Antalya based training center of IFTC, a member company of Gözen Holding. The device installation has been completed and site acceptance test is currently ongoing.

According to the company, IFTC is Turkey’s first independent full flight simulator training center, established in 2008, with two training centers on two different continents (one in Istanbul and one in Antalya). The two training centers operate five full flight simulators covering both Airbus A320 and Boeing B737NG aircraft types.

The HAVELSAN Airbus A320 full flight simulator device order by IFTC was announced earlier in May. Also during that month, a HAVELSAN manufactured Airbus A320 FFS also received the first EASA certification in 2024 – with the device being operated by an airline in Turkey. In 2023 a number of HAVELSAN Boeing B737MAX FFSs achieved EASA Level D Certification.

Earlier in March 2024 HAVELSAN announced it would ramp up activities and support for airlines and simulator training centers including the ability to manufacturer up to eight full flight simulators per year as well as work with airlines to support them expanding their simulator training center operations through flexible solutions.
