Developed to be accessible for all pilots, this is the last chance to enjoy the 15% off.
The A320 SGP - Full Pilot Integration englobes the Airbus A320 CBT (Computer Based Training) approaching all the major aircraft systems, including all the exterior and cockpit locations, components, operations, controls, and indications involved with each system. On the Aircraft's Exterior Guide you can naturally interact with the aircraft but cannot perform the walk around. This mode is only used to study the aircraft systems (CBT) and components, therefore it is ideal to be used only to learn the aircraft externals or for educational use in the classroom (ATOs). The simulator contains a CBT of the aircraft, with summary information of the exterior components of the aircraft. There are “curiosity buttons” (red buttons) distributed around the aircraft next to components, probes, doors, etc. By clicking on them, a page will open with the explanation of the function of that specific equipment. The interactive 3D real time environment will realistically improve the training by turning pilots and aircraft engineers from passive into active observers. The A320 SGP full version software - with the Aircraft’s External Guide and Cockpit Guide modes - provides excellent supplemental reference during ground school training. Used by several airlines, ATOs and MROs worldwide, this is a popular and effective pilot training aid. The main goal of this software is to improve the user’s education quality and qualifications by having a better knowledge of the aircraft’s exterior, as well as the walk around procedure, allowing an easy and objective familiarization with the exterior of the aircraft. Studying an airplane has never been so easy and entertaining as before! Disclaimer: this software is primarily designed for pilot training purposes and does not function as a free-standing flight simulator software.
Cockpit SOP: Pilot Flying executing the cockpit preparation (click on the image to expand it)
Features the full flight procedures for pilot flying (PF) and pilot monitoring (PM) that pilots have to perform during a flight (including safety exterior inspections and external walk around) for all A320 engines. In this simulator you can naturally interact with the cockpit in a tridimensional environment and perform the Standard Operations Procedures (SOP) in an easy and efficient way, showing all the stations of the official path with all the items to check and a detailed explanation for each item. This software avoids unnecessary immobilization of an actual aircraft cockpit or simulator, which can be costly and difficult. Airlines, ATOs and MROs can thus enjoy large financial and logistics benefits right away with more flexibility in training schedules.
The incorporation between the Procedures SOP Simulator and Cockpit Guide makes the A320 SGP - Full Pilot Integration one of the best study aid software on the market for pilots. If you are doing the Procedures SOP Simulator, and have a question about a cockpit button or panel, instead of looking for it on the 3000 page FCOM, that can take precious time, with the A320 SGP - Full Pilot Integration it is a simple as press the “SOP/CBT” button located on the upper bar, and it changes the mode from Procedures SOP Simulator to the Cockpit Guide (and vice-versa). Then, just press on the specific button that you want to study and a CBT page will come out, explaining all the functionalities of that specific button: e.g. operation, controls and indication.
The example below shows the SOP checklist interaction. The first row corresponds to PF and the second for the PM.
Note: 1. All interactions in this gallery, such as the oxygen test and engine 1 fire test, are triggered by clicking the respective buttons with the mouse or with the hand if in VR. 2. To proceed to the next checklist item, you can: • Click on the button or screen indicated by the checklist (guided by the red arrow and target), or • Press the blue button in the bottom-left corner, or • Click on the specific check in the checklist that you want to move to, or • If using VR, simulate a click with your finger, as you would in a real cockpit.
The Procedures SOP Simulator has the following checklists:

User support (aids) – arrow and target
In this simulator you can naturally interact with the aircraft in a tridimensional environment and perform the walk around in an easy and efficient way, showing all the stations of the official path with all the items to check. The A320 Walk Around preflight simulator avoids unnecessary immobilization of an actual aircraft, which can be costly and difficult. Airlines, ATOs and MROs can thus enjoy large financial and logistics benefits right away with more flexibility in training schedules. The Walk Around Simulator includes the Aircraft’s Exterior Guide. It allows a better user interaction with the walk around performance and external knowledge of the aircraft, so the user can perform the walk around and study the aircraft at the same time.
The Walk Around Simulator is divided into two modes:
1 - Training: has user support (aids) - this mode is suitable for people with little to no experience. There are aids (arrow and target) that guide the user in an initial phase, to make it easier to perceive the location of the items that the checklist determines to be inspected. In this mode, it is impossible to miss the checklist order. In each checklist item, there is an “Inspection Hint” to guide the users how to inspect that specific component that the checklist determines to be inspected. There are “curiosity buttons” (red buttons) like the Aircraft’s Exterior Guide linked to a CBT, located near the items to inspect. This feature can be deactivated.
Checklist aid – black box with the explanation (click on the image to expand it)
Exam mode - with no checklist aid
2 - Exam: has no user support - this mode is suitable for experienced users. Tests the user’s external knowledge and the walk around performance. It is possible to miss the checklist order and an error will appear if it happens. At the end, if the result is equal or above 75%, a certificate can be emitted. The certificate can be used for an airline or MRO to ensure that all the aircraft engineers that perform the walk around on the A320 family are fully qualified to do it.
On the Aircraft’s Exterior Guide you can naturally interact with the aircraft but cannot perform the walk around. This mode is only used to study the aircraft systems (CBT) and components, therefore it is ideal to be used only to learn the aircraft externals or for educational use in the classroom (ATOs). The software contains a CBT of the aircraft, with summary information of the exterior components of the aircraft. There are “curiosity buttons” (red buttons) distributed around the aircraft next to components, probes, doors, etc. By clicking on them, a page will open with the explanation of the function of that specific equipment.

Customization options available:
Our team of aviation professionals diligently updates the database to ensure its relevance and accuracy. Each question undergoes meticulous selection to meet the highest standards of quality. To access the database, navigate to the cockpit CBT mode and proceed to the main menu (accessible by pressing the ESC button or via the upper bar), or directly access it from the aircraft systems menu.
Contains a CBT of the aircraft, with summary information of the exterior components of the aircraft. There are “curiosity buttons” (red buttons) distributed around the aircraft next to components, probes, doors, etc.By clicking on them, a page will open with the explanation of the function of that specific equipment.
In conventional CBT, pilots study the external configuration of the aircraft, but this external training is not continuous: only some characteristics of the exterior of the aircraft are shown during the study of a specific system. For example, if you have any questions about a certain component of the aircraft's exterior, you can easily use the simulator and go to that specific location and press a curiosity button. By pressing it, a page will open where the function of that component is described, rather than having to search the various systems through all the aircraft manuals until you find the item you are looking for.

This software can be used:
How difficult is it to have a real A320 in the classroom? The A320 SGP avoids unnecessary immobilization of an actual aircraft. Teaching and studying an airplane has never been so easy and entertaining as before! Forget the traditional teaching methods and the google search about a specific aircraft’s exterior spot in the middle of the class.
Traditional teaching methods
Improved teaching methods
The teacher can show the aircraft exterior and all of its components location to their students in a tridimensional real time environment on the classroom, as well as its explanation (CBT), involving the students in a way that no video or PDF can. The ideal teaching method using the The A320 SGP is in a classroom where all students can have their own computer with our software installed, as they all can follow the teacher's rhythm, hence being involved in the best possible way.
The A320 SGP - Full Pilot Integration gives the perfect training aid for pilots throughout the type rating. Pilots can study the SOP and cockpit CBT in a tridimensional way, self-paced at home or at the ATO, to prepare for a simulator session or the final exam. The Cockpit Guide will give the perfect initial familiarization with the cockpit, connecting each cockpit button and panel to the corresponding aircraft system. On most type-ratings, the majority of studies are focused on the cockpit and procedures, and there is no focus training on the external aircraft and how to perform the walk around. With the Aircraft's Exterior Guide, it is possible to have an excellent knowledge of the outside of the aircraft.
The SGP is the best complement of Airbus LMS software. At the end of the type-rating, students will have an excellent overall knowledge of the A320.
The Walk Around Simulator and the Aircraft's Exterior Guide are the best complement for line-training: if you already have a good technical knowledge about the aircraft’s exterior, you will be always one step ahead compared with other students. Due to the prior training with the A320 SGP - Full Pilot Integration, you will feel very comfortable at the first time outside of the aircraft. This software is suitable for people with little to no experience, allowing an easy and objective familiarization with the exterior of the aircraft improving your education quality and qualifications by having a better knowledge of the aircraft’s exterior, as well as the walk around procedure.
