ICARE Renews A320 Flight Training Device Qualification
Morlaix-based ICARE and European Aviation School have renewed EASA qualifications for Exail A320 training devices used in multi-crew pilot instruction.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Language Learning
ICARE renewed the EASA FNPT II MCC qualification of its Exail A320 Flight Training Device, and European Aviation School renewed its Exail Flight Management System Trainer A320 licenses. The renewals were announced during EATS.
Why it matters
The renewals confirm continued approval for A320 training equipment used in multi-crew cooperation and airline pilot instruction. They support pilot training pathways that prepare students for airline cockpit work.
The ICARE device was developed using the aircraft manufacturer's OEM data package and is designed with FTD Level 2 capability in mind. It complements ICARE's EASA Level D A320 Full Flight Simulator, and the source does not specify the renewal's validity period.
