Australia’s Flight Options announced it has added a new Mechtronix Ascent Airbus A320 Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD) to its systems. Now fully operational and available for bookings, this state-of-the-art simulator enhances Flight Options’ advanced pilot and flight instructor training programmes. It plays a vital role in supporting the aviation industry’s efforts to address ongoing workforce deficiencies in training aircrew.
The introduction of refreshed, future-ready Professional Pilot Training Programmes, including the region’s best Multi Crew Cooperation (MCC) Course available, further strengthens Flight Options’ commitment to training excellence. In aviation for over half a century and with over 15 years of delivering high-quality, industry-recognised training, Flight Options has built a strong reputation for launching graduates into successful airline careers.
Originally established through a relationship with Singapore Flying College (a division of Singapore Airlines), the Flight Options Training Centre has grown into one of the largest privately-owned advanced simulation facilities in the Southern Hemisphere. The centre offers comprehensive training across multiple aircraft types including the Beechcraft King Air and serves a diverse clientele throughout Australasia, Southeast Asia, and beyond.
Steve Padgett OAM, founder and managing director of Flight Options, said: “This launch marks an exciting new chapter for Flight Options. By investing in additional simulators and expanding our training complex, we are reinforcing our commitment to delivering exceptional pilot training that meets the highest standards.”
The new simulator will allow Flight Options to continue to meet the demand for specialised training and with this expansion is positioned to set a new benchmark, delivering unparalleled expertise and standards to pilots and airlines throughout the regions.
