Turkey stopped training Russian pilots

Russian pilots will no longer be able to practice on simulation simulation simulations (FTSD) in the Turkish training center Turkish Airlines, Russian media reports.

The Turkish side referred to the tightening of the sanctions of the European Faulus Security Agency (EASA). Russian companies will not be able to work with FSTD, as all these simulators are approved by EASA.

According to aviation experts, it was in Turkey that Russian pilots were trained after the closure of Europe. In Russia itself, there are simulators only for the most common types of main aircraft of the Airbus A320 and Boeing B737 family. And for models such as Boeing B777 or Airbus A350, there are no simulators in Russia.

Without training on the necessary equipment, it will not work safely to fly safely, experts say. Pilots without mandatory practice on the simulator will lose qualifications and will not be allowed to fly in accordance with the aviation rules of the Russian Federation.
