The Avenger Flight Group Orlando training center specializes exclusively in Airbus A320 family aircraft training, operating dedicated Level D Full Flight Simulators for both the A320 and A321 variants. This focused approach allows the facility to provide specialized expertise in Airbus systems and operations, catering to the significant market demand for A320 family type ratings among low-cost carriers and major airlines.
The Orlando facility's dual A320 family simulator configuration enables efficient training scheduling and increased capacity for initial type rating courses, recurrent training, and Pilot Proficiency Checks (PPC). The A321 simulator addresses the growing market for this larger variant, which has become increasingly popular among airlines for longer domestic routes and transcontinental services. Both simulators maintain the highest fidelity and visual standards required by FAA and EASA regulations.
Located in Central Florida's aviation hub, the Orlando training center provides convenient access for pilots throughout the southeastern United States and Latin America. The facility serves AFG's extensive network of airline partners, particularly low-cost carriers that rely heavily on A320 family aircraft for their operations. The location demonstrates AFG's strategic approach to establishing training centers in geographically optimal locations that reduce travel costs and training downtime for airline customers.
The nearest major airport is Orlando International Airport (MCO). Pilots travelling for training can fly into this airport for convenient access to the training facility.
Avenger Flight Group (AFG) is a global leader in commercial aviation simulation and training, founded in 2013 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company has established itself as the largest privately-owned type rating Full Flight Simulator training organization in the world, specializing in providing cost-effective training solutions to low-cost carriers and airlines with time-sensitive training requirements.
AFG operates over 40 full flight simulators across more than 10 managed training centers worldwide, accumulating over 900,000 flying hours of training experience. The company's fleet includes Level D Full Flight Simulators for popular aircraft types including Boeing 737NG, 757, 767, 787, Airbus A320 family, A330, and Embraer E175.

This business model allows airlines to outsource training and reduce initial capital investment while accessing geographically convenient training locations.
AFG maintains exclusive long-term training contracts with major carriers including Spirit Airlines and Allegiant Air, making it the only training company worldwide with airline pilot training contracts featuring long-term exclusivity. The company provides comprehensive training services including initial type rating, recurrent training, Pilot Proficiency Checks (PPC), Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC), and International Jet Transition Courses for aviation universities and flight schools.
