China Flight Simulation Centre

The China Flight Simulation Centre serves as a specialised training hub within the civil aviation infrastructure of the People's Republic of China. It functions as a mid-stream service provider, offering the technical facilities required for initial type ratings, recurrent training, and proficiency checks for commercial flight crews. By providing access to high-fidelity simulation hardware, the centre enables airlines to meet regulatory safety requirements without the capital expenditure of owning dedicated simulation suites. The organisation primarily supports domestic Chinese air carriers and regional operators, facilitating training on narrow-body and wide-body transport aircraft. While specific long-term contract values are not disclosed, the centre is associated with the operation of full-flight simulators for the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 families, which form the backbone of the Chinese commercial fleet. Its activities are closely aligned with the standards set by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). Prospective partners or training departments should verify the current certification levels of the simulators, specifically whether they hold Level D qualification for zero flight time training. It is also necessary to confirm the availability of specific engine variants and avionics software loads within the simulators to ensure parity with the buyer's actual fleet. Verification of instructor credentials and the availability of wet-lease versus dry-lease slots is recommended before formal engagement.
