The GAA training center is located in Manama (Bahrein) and provides an state of the art training for the GCC countries. See the extract from their site with a description for their installations.

In addition to our access to various training facilities around the world through our global affiliates, the GAA campus has 4 simulators, a Service Trainer (ST), an Emergency Evacuation Trainer (EET) for the A320, A330 and A340 aircrafts, actual sections of various aircraft for role-playing and training in real life situations, an underwater training facility for safety drills and over 30 classrooms. Training sessions can also be conducted at any airline’s premises and at other aviation facilities around the world with the relevant equipment and requirements.

Synthetic Training Devices
Each of our Synthetic Training Devices is built in strict adherence to quality and safety standards, in order to cater specifically to your training needs.

A320 Full Flight Simulator
The CAE 5000 Series simulator has a functional, aesthetic and modular design, using the latest hardware for higher reliability, greater flexibility and enhanced efficiency. The A320 Simulator has an ergonomic instructor working area, complete with a forward maneuverable workstation and an optimal view of both the trainee and training area. 

A330/340 Full Flight Simulator
The A330/A340 Simulator is ideally suited for the most customized training needs. Widely recognized for its high fidelity and reliability, it has an electro-mechanical motion system that uses significantly less power, eliminating environmental concerns of traditional hydraulic systems. The Flight Control System uses third generation electric load unit technology to replicate the precise feel of the aircraft controls.

Airbus Competence Training (ACT) Classroom
The CAE Simfinity ACT Trainer is a powerful desktop training tool specifically designed for the Airbus Competence Training and Maintenance Program. It integrates the curriculum developed by Airbus for maintenance personnel and includes the Airbus virtual aircraft, aircraft documentation and computerbased training. The ACT trainer is used for theoretical and practical training in a classroom environment, thus reducing training time on the actual aircraft.


Airbus Pilot Transition (APT) Trainer
The CAE Simfinity APT Trainer is at the core of the Airbus Pilot Transition training curriculum, enabling “learning by doing” and ensuring training consistency and more efficient use of Full Flight Simulator time. The APT can be operated in three different modes to serve different training needs: computer-based training, procedure tutorial and free play. It uses the same basic software load as the Full Flight Simulator and is reconfigurable to represent A320, A330 and A340 aircraft with multiple engine fits in each case.
