Istanbul Academy Adds A320 Multi-Crew Training Simulator

ELITE Simulation Solutions has delivered an Airbus A320 FNPT II MCC APS simulator to Bluewings Flight Academy in Istanbul, Turkey.

The simulator will be used to prepare cadets and pilots for multi-crew airline operations. It is designed to support Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC), Airline Pilot Standards (APS MCC), Crew Resource Management (CRM), IFR procedures, airline standard operating procedures and jet orientation training.

The Istanbul installation features a replica Airbus cockpit with OEM-style sidesticks, ECAM functionality, avionics, visual systems and an instructor operating station for creating airline training scenarios. The simulator architecture has been developed to support EASA FNPT II MCC APS qualification standards.

Students will use the simulator to develop technical skills, communication procedures, cockpit coordination, workload management and operational decision-making in a multi-crew airline environment.
