Indra, the premier IT company in Spain and a leading IT multinational in Europe, will startup an International Aeronautics Training Centre nearby El Prat airport in Barcelona. The new centre will be equipped with state-of-the-art simulators. The advanced technological features of these systems will be prepared to train the world's premier airlines and will complement the learning process of new pilots. With an advantageous location near the airport, pilots could engage in training at the centre during stopovers or transfers to another destinations. The new centre will also complement the activities of pilot training schools (FTO). Indra will have the support of GTA to exploit the centre.
The facilities will be equipped with state-of-the-art simulators (level D) developed by Indra. This qualification is granted by the State Agency for Air Security (AESA) after evaluating the systems in compliance with the international legislation and certifies that the training systems replicate with maximum accuracy the behaviour of the real aircraft. Level D means that every hour in training with the simulator counts as an hour flying a real aircraft.
