ATR Will Train Pilots Near Charles de Gaulle Airport In New
FFS
A new pilot training center equipped with a brand new Full
Flight Simulator (FFS) has been opened by European turboprop
manufacturer ATR near Charles de Gaulle airport in Roissy, France.
The sim, manufactured by Thales, will allow crew members to be
trained on the ATR 72-500. The new center has been established in
partnership with SIM Aéro Training, which will house the
simulator and all the other teaching tools put in place by ATR, in
addition to providing technical support.

Building on its commercial success, (ATR now has almost 900
aircraft in operation in more than 90 countries), the turboprop
manufacturer is strengthening its policy of expanding its offer of
support to customers worldwide. The opening this new center allows
services to be offered to these customers more rapidly and with
greater ease of access. ATR currently has pilot training centers in
Toulouse (France), Paris (France), Bangkok (Thailand) and Toronto
(Canada). The company says other centers will open soon in
Johannesburg (South Africa) and Banglore (India).
"This new training center is strategically located to allow easy
access to our operators, not just Europeans, but also those from
other continents," said Filippo Bagnato, ATR’s Chief
Executive Officer. "It will also allow the load to be lightened for
our other training centers, particularly the Toulouse center, which
are already operating full-time. The number of ATR operators is
ever increasing, and we have to be able to offer them the best
tools to constantly support them in their operations."
