Airbus Flight Academy Europe (AFAE) marked its commitment to environmental sustainability and cutting-edge training with the recent delivery of four state-of-the-art Elixir airplanes. These trainers, tailored for global professional flight training organizations, were received at AFAE’s Angouleme, France, facility earlier this week.

What sets the two-seat airplanes apart is the inclusion of the recently EASA-certified full glass cockpit with a full suite of Garmin avionics, a high-tech feature designed specifically to meet the rigorous demands of professional aviation training. This new design is intended to align with the academy’s dedication to staying at the forefront of technological advancements in flight training.

Amy Wilder

Amy Wilder fell in love with airplanes at age 8 when her brother-in-law took her up in a Cessna 172. Pretty soon, Amy's bedroom walls were covered with images of vintage airplanes, and she was convinced she'd be a bush pilot in Alaska one day. She became a journalist instead, which is also somewhat impractical—but with fewer bears. Now she's working on her private pilot certificate and ready to be a lifelong student of the art of flying.
