Miami

The training of flight crews, cabin attendants and maintenance personnel for airline customers in the U.S., Canada and North/South America is coordinated through Airbus’ training centre in Miami, Florida – a modern installation that was the first custom-designed Airbus facility of its type built in the United States.

The Miami facility has full-flight simulators for the A320 Family and for the A330/A340. In addition, Airbus Pilot Transition (APT) trainers are used for flight crew training. 

Maintenance classrooms are all equipped with virtual reality and advanced trainers to perform part of the practical training. ACT trainers and Virtual Aircraft allow trainees to perform maintenance tasks from cockpit to aircraft component in a realistic and safe environment. Their combined use reduces the practical training time on the actual aircraft, contributing to its decreased downtime.

Miami also has full-scale cabin door and emergency slide trainers configured for the A320 and A330/A340.

The extensive use of computer-based training technology provides a significant degree of “portability” to Airbus courses, allowing instructors to conduct ground school classes at the customers’ own locations. 

Trainee Lounge / Restaurants

The Trainee Lounge is located on the second floor, and is specifically designed as a place where trainees can take a break from their training. Hot and cold beverages are available, as are light snacks from vending machines.

For those who would like to leave the Training centre during lunchtime, there are a variety of café/fast-food type restaurants within a short walk, and many similar restaurants within a few minutes drive.
