Transaero Airlines Aviation Training Centre trains qualified aviation specialists in a wide variety of fields. The Centre is a member of the Association of Aviation Training Centres.
The Centre’s teaching staff consists of highly skilled specialists with extensive teaching and professional experience who have undergone special training and hold all appropriate certificates.
All categories of aviation specialists are trained in compliance with international standards using proprietary training and monitoring software and instructional aids. Training programs include theoretical, practical and simulator courses.
Some facts from the Aviation Training Centre’s history
Created in 1994.
Is a part of JSC Transaero Airlines Personnel Department. The Aviation Training Centre provides:
- flight crew training
- cabin crew training
- engineering staff training
- staff training in human factor
- ground staff training
- airline staff training in the English language
The Aviation Training Centre carries out training in 84 specializations. 
Facilities:
- 18 specialized classrooms (total floor area = 1,034 square meters)
- Simulator facility at Domodedovo Airport Terminal Complex (Boeing 737-200; Boeing 747-200) )
May 25, 1994 is recognized as the ATC’s birthday. On this day the first class started their initial flight attendant training at the ATC. There were just two training programs at the time: initial flight attendant training for Boeing-737-200 and Il-86 aircraft.
Flight crews underwent transition training at certified training centres abroad. The first flight crew to fly Boeing-737-200 aircraft was trained at United Airlines training centre in Denver.
Transaero was the first airline in Russia to start operating Boeing-737/700 aircraft. Flight crew transition training for the new Boeing type took place at the facilities provided by Boeing itself – the world’s leading aerospace corporation and the largest passenger aircraft manufacturer. We were also the first ones in Russia to introduce Boeing-747-200 for passenger transportation. Pilots and flight engineers underwent transition training at PAN AM training centre in the USA.
Today the ATC’s facilities are nothing short of impressive: the Centre boasts computer classrooms, video projectors, notebooks, video cameras, professional photo cameras, video and audio recorders, and every workstation in the language laboratory is equipped with a web camera.
The ATC’s pride is the multi-purpose flight simulator based on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 that allows trainees to “fly" a virtual aircraft to any destination on Earth. The image is projected on a huge screen, and multiple LCD displays replicate different aircraft controls. Flight crews can use this simulator to hone their skills in real time.
The Training Centre also employs a mock Boeing-737 cockpit assembled from actual aircraft parts as an aid in pilot training.
The emergency rescue classroom is equipped with smoke masks and fire extinguishers as well as flight deck and passenger cabin oxygen equipment.
The service technology classroom is equipped with cafeteria/kitchen appliances from an actual aircraft. Training in a realistic environment closely resembling that on board of an aircraft allows the staff to acquire knowledge and skills they’ll need in future work.
Transaero’s employees undergo emergency rescue training both abroad (under contracts with leading training centres) and at our home base at Domodedovo Airport using decommissioned Boeing-737 and Boeing-747 aircrafts. The Aviation Training Centre operates under ATC license Series B No. 209049 issued by St. Petersburg Science and Higher School Committee on June 30, 2009, and ATC certificate No. 29/259 issued on September 7, 2007.
