This milestone significantly expands Acron Aviation’s global training footprint and enhances its capability to support Brazilian operators and pilots with advanced training solutions.

The approval, achieved in partnership with Simshares, enables Acron Aviation to deliver high-quality, regulator-approved training to Brazilian-licensed pilots across multiple aircraft types, leveraging its established instructor expertise, advanced training devices and globally recognised safety and compliance standards.

Dave Coward, GM and SVP, Acron Aviation, said: “This approval from ANAC Brazil is an important step in expanding our global training capabilities and supporting the needs of Brazilian operators and pilots. It reflects the strength of our regulatory credentials, our long-standing heritage in pilot training, and the confidence that international authorities place in our systems and standards.

“It also highlights the benefit of working in partnership with Simshares, whose support was instrumental in achieving this approval and in developing future opportunities in the Brazilian market.”

Simshares facilitated the regulatory approval, coordinating and managing communications and logistics between Acron Aviation and ANAC Brazil and will now take-up the role of business introducer for future ANAC Brazil–related pilot training.

Captain Rudolf Brockhausen, Founder and CEO, Simshares, said: “Acron Aviation’s Reality7 simulators, with their full-motion capability and data-driven realism, set a high benchmark for pilot training and will deliver real value to Brazilian operators and pilots.” Brockhausen continued, “With our long-standing relationships and first-hand experience within Brazil’s aviation sector, we look forward to building on this partnership as Acron expands its presence in the world’s fifth largest airline market.”

This development illustrates Acron Aviation’s ability to deliver flexible, globally accessible training solutions that meet the highest international regulatory standards, while supporting airline and pilot communities worldwide.
