Training for the Future
Miami, Mexico City, São Paulo and Santiago are some of the locations where Airbus provides training services in the Americas for Latin American customers. Airbus's portfolio sets itself apart by combining competence-based training to provide the right learning paths to acquire the right skill set, from pilots to maintenance crews and cabin staff.
The flight training program provides end-to-end solutions that are approved by all major airworthiness authorities, ensuring the highest quality standards. Beyond courses, Airbus leverages advanced technology to optimize training. Solutions like Mobile Airbus Training Experience (MATe) and Virtual Procedure Training (VPT) enable pilots to learn procedures and become familiar with the cockpit from the outset, thereby maximizing the efficiency of the Full-Flight Simulator (FFS) and instructors.
The approach to maintenance and structure training is similar to that of the flight program. It includes various courses that cover different stages of maintenance operations. A key component is the Airbus Competence Trainer (ACT), an all-in-one solution designed to help airlines and Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) organizations to manage their initial and recurrent training needs.
Airbus is committed to expanding its regional presence to better support its customers. Recent examples include the inauguration of a second A320 Full-Flight Simulator in Santiago and the development of a new Airline Transport Pilot/Certification Training Program (ATP/CTP). The ATP/CTP is a mandatory Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) course for pilots seeking an Airline Transport Pilot certificate. The course aims to bridge the knowledge gap between a commercial pilot’s license and the more rigorous demands of an airline environment.
As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Airbus's training portfolio is a market reference. It benefits directly from the company's deep expertise, as well as the latest technology, training concepts, and philosophies. This ensures that customers worldwide receive the best possible courses and solutions, setting the industry standard for aviation training.
