Second A320 Full Flight Simulator Ready for Training at BAA Training France

BAA Training, a leader in aviation training solutions, has certified the second Airbus A320 full flight simulator at its training center in France. BAA Training France, located near Paris Orly Airport, is already equipped with two Boeing 737 NG, a Boeing 747-400, and an Airbus A320neo full flight simulators (FFS). The second A320neo FFS will allow to further enhance the training opportunities for pilots and airlines alike coming from all around the world.

The FFS was certified in full compliance with the most recent requirements of EASA CS-FSTD(A) Issue 2. The simulator is factory new and manufactured in 2024, equipped with FMGC of Honeywell H3PC19 (CFM), ATSU FANS Option, and simulates CFM LEAP-1A26 engine. The second A320 FFS is ready for training at BAA Training France.

The aviation training solutions provider offers full-scope pilot training – from ATPL Integrated, airline-focused MPL programs to advanced training, Type Rating, License Proficiency Checks, license renewals and revalidations, and more. BAA Training France also provides both dry and wet lease services, catering primarily to the needs of airline clients.

Airlines partnering with BAA Training France benefit from the comprehensive resources of the broader BAA Training network. This includes access to now 16 advanced simulators (including those located in Paris), Flight Training Devices (FTDs), and a large team of highly skilled instructors.

“This full flight simulator, the 16th across our locations, marks another significant step in our ongoing expansion,” said Marijus Ravoitis, CEO of BAA Training.

“With expanded simulator fleet, BAA Training France can better address the evolving needs of airlines, ensuring we remain a trusted partner in their operational success,” said Vytautas Ledakas, Managing Director of BAA Training France.
