Flight & cabin crew training

Flight & Cabin crew training courses provide training services required for a successful entry into service and continued operation in the best conditions of safety and satisfaction.

The different Airbus facilities provide access to full-flight simulators (A310/A300-600, A320, A330/A340, and/or A380, according to locations), Flight training devices (APT trainers) and diverse PC based System Trainers for all aircraft types, cabin emergency and evacuation trainer with door trainers and a Walk Around Virtual Aircraft. Trainees can also view aircraft on the assembly line.

Airbus training centres in Toulouse, Miami and Beijing offer a broad range of customized, interactive courses with constantly updated programmes and state-of-the-art equipment to train flight and cabin crews. These include, among others, the highly-efficient Airbus Pilot Transition (APT) course which incorporates the APT Trainer, the Airbus Pilot Instructor Course (APIC) bringing a significant new philosophy to pilot training, and the approved Cross-Crew-Qualification (CCQ) courses. 

Other innovations have also been developed, including the integration of behaviour training into the training (Crew Resource Management, CRM).
