AZAL Pilot Training Center Replenished with a Modern Flight Simulator

Anew simulator complex for Embraer E-190 aircraft has been installed at the Pilot Training Center of “Azerbaijan Airlines”.

The new simulator complex will allow the pilots of the flag carrier of Azerbaijan to receive training in our country without going abroad.

To install the simulator complex at the National Aviation Academy, a new building for the Simulator Complex was built in accordance with the latest requirements for international pilot training centers.

The manufacturer of the simulator complex is the well-known American manufacturer - FlightSafety International.

The agreement on the purchase of this simulator was signed in Baku on December 16, 2019 by the President of AZAL, Mr. Jahangir Asgarov, and the Rector of the National Aviation Academy, Academician Arif Pashayev, from the

Azerbaijani side, and by the Executive Drector for Simulation Products and Services, Mr. John C. Van Maren, and Sales Director, Mr. Philiipe Delfour, from the FlightSafety International side.

After being installed in the NAA, the new FS1000 Embraer E190-E1 Level D Full Flight Simulator was successfully certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) confirming its compliance with level D - the highest for simulators.

During the certification process, EASA conducted more than 170 tests on quality and flight procedures. Compatibility with real aircraft was tested for all simulator systems.
