Ankara, Türkiye – The simulator producer HAVELSAN, based in Turkey, announced that another Boeing B737-8 MAX Full Flight Simulator (FFS), crafted by HAVELSAN and utilized by Turkish Airlines, has successfully received European EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) Level D recognition.
Previously, HAVELSAN entered into a contract with Turkish Airlines for the acquisition of a total of 11 A320 CEO NEOs and Boeing 737 Max FFS and FTDs. In May 2023, the inaugural HAVELSAN manufactured B737 MAX full flight simulator situated in the Turkish Airlines Flight Training Center earned EASA Level D recognition. Now, for the second occasion, the firm has accomplished an impressive achievement by securing EASA Level D Certification for another B737-8 MAX Simulator. This recognition underscores HAVELSAN’s steadfast dedication to innovation, excellence, and safety in aviation training.
“We are delighted to announce the second EASA full flight simulator certification for a HAVELSAN manufactured 737-8 MAX device. It represents our mutual commitment with Turkish Airlines to ensure that the simulator training infrastructure complies with international standards,” stated Mehmet Akif Nacar, Ph.D., CEO of HAVELSAN.
“We are pleased to achieve Level D certification for our second simulator. This accomplishment mirrors our commitment to uphold the highest standards of safety and competency for our flight crews,” expressed Bilal Ekşi, CEO of Turkish Airlines.
HAVELSAN is aiming for EASA certification of its Airbus A320 CEO/NEO created full flight simulators, demonstrating to the global airline and pilot training sector that it can deliver top-notch Turkish-manufactured narrow-body aircraft flight simulators.
Having established a presence in the simulation arena for 40 years, HAVELSAN is devoted to addressing the requirements of Flight Simulator Training Devices both locally and globally, continuing to offer advanced solutions to its clients. The company is currently proactively looking for additional airlines or training facility operators to exchange information regarding its products and the distinctive solutions it can provide.
