The A320neo simulator is a training device that allows pilots to conduct simulated flights in an environment identical to the aircraft cockpit. It provides a realistic training environment through precise movements and high-resolution 4K projectors.
The simulator can replicate extreme situations where visibility is compromised, including takeoffs, adverse weather conditions, and emergency scenarios.
Earlier this year, a series of incidents involving portable battery fires on domestic and international flights highlighted the importance of pilots being familiar with response protocols. U.S. aviation authorities have also recommended smoke response training that simulates real-life conditions. Jin Air is focusing on enhancing pilots' ability to react instinctively, moving beyond mere memorization of manuals.
A Jin Air official stated, "Pilots undergo regular training to respond to in-flight fires." Currently, five affiliated airlines, including Korean Air, have completely banned the use of auxiliary batteries on board.
Following the simulator, Jin Air plans to introduce a Flight Training Device (FTD) as well. This training device will help pilots master normal and abnormal response procedures using systems identical to those in actual aircraft. Once implemented, Jin Air will operate two Full Flight Simulators (FFS) and one FTD, with an investment totaling approximately 22 billion won.
