Bucharest, Romania, June 2026 – The Romanian Aviation Academy (Școala Superioară de Aviație Civilă, RAA) in Bucharest has successfully qualified an Airbus A320 CEO/NEO Full Flight Simulator (FFS) supplied by AMST’s Civil Aviation division in Nieuw-Vennep, The Netherlands.
The qualification marks a significant expansion of RAA’s pilot training capabilities and highlights AMST’s expertise in delivering advanced flight simulation systems.
The project was realized through close cooperation between RAA and AMST, covering all phases from manufacturing and installation to integration, testing, and qualification support. Key milestones included the precise and timely delivery of the simulator by Gebrüder Weiss, the use of specialized installation equipment provided by Mateco Romania, and the seamless technical integration of the motion and visual systems in cooperation with MOOG and RSi.
A notable technical feature of the simulator is the integration of a visual display solution incorporating VIOSO’s automatic calibration technology. The system enables precise and efficient alignment of the projected image, helping to ensure high visual fidelity while reducing calibration effort and maintenance time throughout the simulator’s operational lifecycle.
Welcoming the achievement, Prisecaru Adrian, Managing Director RAA, commented: “The qualification of the A320 Full Flight Simulator represents an important milestone for the Romanian Aviation Academy. The cooperation with AMST was professional and solution-oriented throughout the project, and the result meets our expectations in terms of performance, reliability, and training capability. This new simulator will significantly enhance our ability to train current and future airline pilots to the highest standards.”
“The successful qualification of this simulator reflects the expertise and dedication of all teams involved,” said Rainer Schlüsselberger, Managing Director of AMST-Aviation B.V. and Shareholder of AMST Group. “This project also demonstrates the strong collaboration between our teams in the Netherlands and Austria, working seamlessly across locations to deliver an integrated solution. We are proud to support the Romanian Aviation Academy in expanding its training capabilities with this state-of-the-art simulator.”
The newly qualified Airbus A320 CEO/NEO Full Flight Simulator will support the Romanian Aviation Academy in providing high-quality training for current and future airline pilots while meeting the stringent regulatory and operational requirements of modern commercial aviation.
