EASA modernizes simulator rules with new capability-based training framework
European regulators are updating how flight simulators are evaluated, moving away from rigid device categories to a system based on actual hardware capabilities. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency will now use a standardized signature to measure a device's fidelity, opening the door for broader use of virtual reality and touchscreen technologies. For flight schools and students, this shift means highly effective simulator time might become more accessible and affordable without relying strictly on expensive full-flight setups.
