Our fleet

Our fleet in Norway comprises exclusively of two types of Diamond aircraft: the single-engine Diamond DA 40 NG and the twin-engine DA 42-VI NG. The Diamond DA 40 NG is a modern single-engine aircraft known for its efficiency, advanced avionics, and safety features. The DA 42-VI NG, on the other hand, is a twin-engine aircraft, providing additional redundancy and performance capabilities compared to single-engine aircraft.

Both aircraft models are relatively new, indicating that they are equipped with the latest technology and design advancements, making them suitable for contemporary pilot training needs.) training. Both the DA 40 NG and the DA 42-VI NG aircraft are utilized for a variety of training purposes.

The fleet of Diamond aircraft in Norway represents a modern and versatile training platform, equipped to provide students with the skills and experience necessary to become proficient pilots capable of operating in diverse flying conditions.

Our simulators

Diamond Simulators for Instrument Flying and Emergencies:

  • These simulators are designed to replicate the experience of flying the Diamond DA 42-VI NG aircraft.

  • They are equipped to provide training specifically focused on instrument flying, which involves flying solely by reference to instruments without external visual cues, a crucial skill for pilots, especially during adverse weather conditions.

  • Additionally, these simulators are programmed to simulate various emergency situations that pilots may encounter during flight. This could include engine failures, system malfunctions, or other critical scenarios where quick and effective decision-making is essential.

  • By using these top-notch simulators, students can gain practical experience and hone their skills in handling challenging situations in a safe and controlled environment before they encounter them in real-world flying.

Boeing 737 Simulator for Multi-Crew Cooperation:

  • The Boeing 737 simulator provides a different training experience compared to the Diamond simulators.

  • It is specifically designed to mimic the cockpit environment of multi-pilot large jet aircraft like the Boeing 737.

  • Students get hands-on experience in managing the complex systems of a large commercial jetliner, working together with their fellow crew members to ensure safe and efficient flight operations.

  • Training in this simulator is essential for aspiring commercial pilots who aim to work in multi-pilot environments, where effective teamwork and collaboration are critical for safe and successful flights.

Overall, both types of simulators play crucial roles in pilot training, offering realistic and immersive environments for students to develop their flying skills and prepare for the challenges they may face in their aviation careers.
