Joins A330, EC225 Sims At Hua Ou Aviation Training Center In Beijing
The first A320 full simulator upgradable to support the flight training of A320neo has been put into operation at the Hua Ou Aviation Training Center in Beijing, a joint venture between Airbus China and China Aviation Supplies Holding Company (CAS). Captain Hu Zhenjiang, deputy director general of Flight Standard Department of Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) presented the qualification certificate of the A320 full flight simulator (S35) and the approval certificate for CCAR “Quality Assurance System” to Raymond Lim, general manager of Hua Ou Aviation Training Center during a ceremony held at the centre with over 100 guests.
Hua Ou Aviation Training Center is part of an Airbus global training and support network, dedicated to provide Airbus aircraft operators with training and support around the clock throughout the year. Since it received the first group of pilot trainees in October 1997, the center has trained crews from more than 30 airlines worldwide. Over 24,000 professionals, including pilots, cabin attendants, maintenance technicians, performance/operations personnel and structure technicians have been trained there.
The training center is equipped with four full flight simulators for Airbus aircraft, three for the A320 Family and one for the A330/A340 Family. It also manages the daily operation and maintenance work for an EC225 helicopter simulator, which belongs to Eurocopter, another subsidiary of EADS.
“I am pleased to participate in another milestone in the history of Hua Ou and to see Hua Ou inaugurating a fourth Airbus full flight simulator. As the best selling single aisle aircraft family, the A320 has also proven to be very popular in China. Hua Ou has served our customers training needs extremely well since it was put into operation in 1997. With this new simulator, we will be able to prepare our customers for the EIS of the A320neo in 2015”, said Laurence Barron, president of Airbus China.
Hua Ou Aviation Training Center has also received the approval for “Quality Assurance System” by CAAC on the same day. The system, established by CAAC, is to ensure reliable and high-quality flight training facilities in China. Hua Ou Aviation Training Center is among the first to obtain CCAR “Quality Assurance System”. It is a testament to and recognition of Hua Ou’s long and tested experience in Airbus flight training.
