A320 Refresher Course

  customized for your needs

Many pilots are currently grounded due to airline layoffs (such as Spirit) or other unforeseen circumstances. Whether you’re preparing for an interview and have never flown the A320, expecting a simulator test, or simply want to refresh your skills—such as handling emergency procedures, practicing with the MCDU, or flying under different flight laws—you now have an affordable option.

 

Our brand new, state-of-the-art A320 FTD Level 4 simulator is open, offering a cost-effective way to stay current without breaking the bank.

Stay Sharp and Confident: A320 Refresher Course

An A320 refresher course is designed for keeping pilots proficient as procedures and regulations evolve. It helps pilots stay current with updates in aircraft systems, improves their ability to manage abnormal and emergency situations, and reinforces key cockpit operations. Regular practice of both manual and automated flight controls ensures confidence in routine and complex scenarios, such as challenging approaches. Additionally, it supports meeting recency requirements, keeping pilots sharp, competent, and prepared for safe and efficient flight operations.

Preparing for an Interview

 

An A320 refresher course is invaluable for pilots preparing for an airline interview, where technical knowledge and familiarity with aircraft systems are often tested. At ATP.Academy, we help pilots review key areas such as aircraft systems, cockpit layout, instrument interpretation, and operational flows. By practicing normal and emergency procedures in a detailed, simulated environment, pilots can feel confident and prepared for technical evaluations. The A320 Flight Training Device (FTD) Level 4, which replicates the aircraft with 99% accuracy, provides hands-on practice in a highly realistic cockpit environment.

 

Reviewing Key Procedures

 

The refresher course also enables pilots to revisit checklists, reinforce procedural flows, and fine-tune their decision-making skills under pressure. This training is critical for pilots transitioning back into flying after a break or those advancing in their careers. With ATP Academy’s A320 FTD, pilots can simulate various flight phases, including complex scenarios like engine failures or different weather phenomena. The result is improved confidence, ensuring pilots are well-prepared for both routine flights and any unexpected challenges they may encounter.

 

Maintaining Currency During Downtime

 

Even when pilots are off duty due to airline troubles or layoffs, maintaining currency is crucial for staying ready to return to active flying. An A320 refresher course offers the perfect solution, helping pilots stay sharp on regulatory requirements and operational procedures. At ATP.Academy, our A320 FTD Level 4 allows pilots to regularly practice checklists, flows, and emergency scenarios in a highly realistic environment. This ensures that pilots remain proficient and meet currency requirements, keeping them prepared for immediate re-entry into the industry when opportunities arise.

 

Returning After a Layoff

 

For pilots who have been laid off due to airline shutdowns or workforce reductions, an A320 refresher course is essential for regaining proficiency and staying current. Extended breaks from active flying can lead to a loss of familiarity with cockpit operations, aircraft systems, and procedures. At ATP.Academy, the A320 FTD Level 4 allows pilots to simulate a wide range of flight operations with near-perfect accuracy, helping them refresh their skills, regain confidence, and ensure readiness to return to flying when opportunities arise.
