L3Harris Expands Pilot Training Collaboration with National Aviation Academy in Azerbaijan

L3Harris has had a long-standing history of collaboration with the esteemed National Aviation Academy (NAA) in Azerbaijan, solidifying our commitment to advancing aviation training in the country. This partnership has been reinforced by the supply of a new A320ceo Flat Panel Trainer (FPT) to enhance the training capabilities at NAA’s Pilot Training Centre.

The L3Harris A320 FPT is a sophisticated pilot crew training device designed to optimize training efficiency. It aims to refine the skills of both pilots and maintenance personnel, offering a comprehensive understanding of the Airbus A320 flight deck systems and procedures. This strategic introduction acts as a precursor for pilots before progressing to higher-fidelity simulators, such as fixed-based and full flight simulators.

Scheduled for installation and use by the end of 2023, the A320ceo FPT will join a suite of devices previously supplied by L3Harris, including an ATR72-500 full flight simulator (FFS), Airbus A320 (FFS) and Boeing 757/767 interchange (FFS) at NAA’s training center.

This collaboration signifies a stride in advancing aviation training within Azerbaijan, reflecting L3Harris’ ongoing commitment to deliver cutting edge solutions to meet the growing needs of the industry.

“We are honored to be working with the National Aviation Academy of Azerbaijan by providing the highest-quality simulator devices to help meet the regions demand for A320 pilot training. This agreement follows closely on from the recent full flight simulator purchase by Silk Way Airlines and highlights the growth of aviation in the region.”
