The New Airbus A320 Flight Simulator Will Reduce Costs of Training Pilots Drastically
Moreover, employing a simulator for Pakistani airline pilots would result in securer training and cost savings for the operators, as the airlines had to spend a considerable amount of money to instruct their pilots overseas. When a pilot was sent abroad for training, a spokesperson from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) escorted him, which cost the airline. However, after the purchase of the Airbus A320 flight simulator by the airline, it will be able to save a large amount of money.
