BAA Training France certifies A320 FFS Airbus Standard 2.2.1 BAA Training France has become the first aviation training center worldwide to operate an Airbus A320 Full Flight Simulator (FFS), certified to the new Airbus Standard 2.2.1 and declared ready for training (RFT). The simulator is owned by Transavia France, the Air France-KLM Group low-cost carrier, and is operated and maintained by BAA Training. It is now available for training to airlines and operators globally. As airlines continue introducing newer A320neo aircraft into their fleets, access to training devices aligned with the latest aircraft standards is becoming increasingly important for maintaining pilot readiness, operational consistency and safety. The latest Airbus standard ensures continued alignment with the most recent A320neo aircraft developments, enabling pilots to train in an environment that accurately reflects current airline operations. Advanced capabilities include Air Traffic Services Unit with Future Air Navigation System C standard (ATSU FANS-C), updated digital Radio Management Panel (RMP), improved Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) functionality, as well as enhancements contributing to increased safety and improved pilot workload management. This certification marks another significant milestone for BAA Training, bringing the total number of certified FFSs across its global training network to 17. The partnership between Transavia France and BAA Training enables airlines to train crews on a simulator that is fully aligned with the latest A320neo aircraft configuration currently entering service. “This certification reflects our commitment to delivering the most advanced and up-to-date training solutions for our airline partners,” said Vytautas Ledakas, Chief Simulator Training Officer at BAA Training. “By operating and maintaining this state-of-the-art simulator, we ensure pilots are trained in an environment that mirrors today’s real-world operations, while providing our partners with the highest level of training quality and reliability.” With this certification, BAA Training France further strengthens its position as the largest training center within the BAA Training network, offering comprehensive training capabilities for Airbus A320neo, Boeing 737NG and Boeing 747-400, including dry and wet lease solutions, as well as cabin crew training facilities.
