One clear objective
Share your background and desired outcome before the session so the scenario remains relevant and achievable.
Pilots and students
A320 simulator for pilots in Bilbao
Goal-led cockpit familiarisation, procedure practice and approach sessions, delivered entirely in English or Spanish.
Repeatable practice
Revisit an approach, transition or normal sequence and compare the effect of a specific correction.
Structured debrief
Review workload, observations and concrete changes rather than simply counting completed manoeuvres.
A320 familiarisation for pilots and students
A focused session can help build or refresh a mental map of the Airbus A320 flight deck. Depending on your background, the session may cover cockpit orientation, displays, flight-path management, automation awareness or a selected normal sequence.
Before booking, define a measurable objective. “Practise the A320” is broad; maintaining a stable approach, improving instrument scan or understanding the flow of one flight phase creates a clearer session and a more useful debrief.
Procedure and approach practice
The simulator can support deliberate repetition of normal procedures, manual handling, automation supervision and approaches. Complexity is introduced progressively. One stable scenario repeated with a clear correction often offers more value than multiple unrelated failures.
If you want to use your own material, discuss it in advance. Operator SOPs vary and authorised documentation remains the valid reference. North Aviation does not present generic guidance as an airline's operational procedure.
An English-language session in Northern Spain
Briefing, cockpit communication and debriefing can be conducted fully in English. The central Bilbao location can fit a trip through Northern Spain or a stay reached through Bilbao Airport. Always check the current airport-to-city connection and allow sufficient time before the confirmed slot.
Non-certified practice: clear limits
These sessions are familiarisation and non-certified practice. They do not award flight or simulator hours, licence credit or qualifications. They do not replace a Type Rating, MCC, proficiency check, ATO course or qualified training device where regulation or an operator requires one.
To prepare, you can read the Spanish guides about A320 cockpit controls and take-off and landing phases, or contact the team with your questions in English.
