Beyond building: a training service
HAVELSAN’s simulator business does not end with hardware production. By operating simulators at the training centres it has established, the company provides pilots with direct training services. This creates a structure that both builds the device and runs the training programme.
Fixed-wing simulator training centres
HAVELSAN’s fixed-wing simulator training centres run flight training for civil aviation pilots. Training given on high-fidelity simulators lets pilots meet needs such as type rating and recurrent training without boarding a real aircraft.

Why does Level D matter?
Level D is the highest qualification level for flight simulators. Training completed on a simulator at this level can be considered equivalent to real flight hours. This both lowers training cost and lets emergency scenarios be practised in a safe environment.
