BAA Training, Vietnam’s brand-new aviation training center, has announced it is officially ready for training, as the training centre has received Approved Training Organization (ATO) status and the first Airbus A320 full-flight simulator is fully assembled and has been approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam.
BAA Training Vietnam currently offers an Airbus A320-type rating training as it is one of the first training providers in the region to add competency-based training and assessment system into its program. The training and assessment system is based on nine competencies. Developing pilot competencies is needed to demonstrate a good performance against realistic threats and errors which cannot be rehearsed.
The newly built 3000 m² training center is designed to operate four full-flight simulators in total and is strategically located 18km from the airport. With the first Airbus A320 full-flight simulator as well as a modern Airbus Procedure Trainer already ready for training, and the second full-flight simulator scheduled to be added by the end of 2019, BAA Training Vietnam estimates being able to provide the region with up to 400 pilots with type-rating training and up to 1,000 pilots with recurrent training yearly.
With the planned Flame V9000 Commander Fire Fighting Trainer and the Door and Slide Trainer for cabin crew training, BAA Training Vietnam will be able to accommodate training needs for up to 2,000 cabin crew members yearly.
