International Flight Training Center (IFTC), Turkey’s first independent simulator flight training center, signed a letter of intent with Textron subsidiary TRU Simuation + Training for two flight simulators on Monday at the Paris Air Show. The deal signifies a growing relationship with TRU and confirmed IFTC’s intent to purchase A320 and 737 Max full-flight simulators.

 


Further successes include a new A350 full-flight simulator that were delivered to the Airbus Hua-Ou Training Center in China. That simulator has been qualified as a level-D device by Civil Aviation Authority of China (CAAC) and EASA and is ready to support pilot training for China’s rapidly growing pilot demand.

 


Pilots in India now have access to the first A320 simulator qualified to level-D by the DGCA. That device was delivered to an OEM in India.

 


Additionally, CAAC-certified level-D A320 and CRJ-900 simulators were sent to China Express Airlines.
