Your training tools

Two simulators, one continuous progression
54 hours at the controls
You won’t discover the A320 cockpit on your first simulator session. From day two of ground school, you’re at the controls of our VPT. Over 14 hours, you learn to read the instruments, run the flows, program the FMGC. The actions become automatic, the procedures stick. Before you even step into the simulator, you’re already ready!
In the simulator, everything ramps up: 40 hours in realistic conditions — HD visuals, motion platform, accurate aircraft behaviour, scenarios straight from real operations. You handle failures, make decisions, work as a crew. Alongside you, an experienced instructor who knows the job and prepares you for it.
54 hours at the controls. A seamless progression, from your first flow to the final assessment.
VPT Simulator
14 hours from day 2 of ground school. Flows, procedures, FMGC management. You arrive at the FNPTII with the basics already locked in.
A320 Simulator
40 hours on a latest-generation FNPT2 with motion. A320 cockpit replica, HD visuals, motion platform — an immersive environment.
