OPC/LPC Simulator Check Preparation for A320 and B737 Pilots in Istanbul
Airline pilots take recurrent OPC and LPC checks in approved full flight simulators run by their operator or an approved training organisation. Sky Academy does not conduct those checks and our devices cannot give check credit. What we offer is preparation: rehearsing the scenarios, flows and communication you will be assessed on, with TRI/SFI instructors, before the real check.
What OPC and LPC mean
- LPC (Licence Proficiency Check): the periodic proficiency check used to revalidate a type rating, normally on the type you hold.
- OPC (Operator Proficiency Check): the operator's own proficiency check, often combined with the LPC, covering company procedures and operator-specific items.
Formats, items and validity are set by your authority and your operator. Always follow your operator's training department and the applicable regulations.
What we help you rehearse
- Normal and abnormal flows and standard calls on the Airbus A320 or Boeing 737NG.
- Items commonly seen in proficiency checks, such as engine failure after V1, rejected take-off, single-engine approach and go-around, and precision and non-precision approaches.
- Briefing, decision making and CRM communication under time pressure.
- A structured debrief with a TRI/SFI instructor.
Who it is for
- Pilots with an upcoming OPC or LPC who want an extra rehearsal.
- Pilots returning to a type after a break.
- First officers preparing for a command upgrade check or an airline assessment.
What it is not
It is not an official check, it gives no check credit, and it does not replace your operator's recurrent training. Our devices are advanced fixed-base training devices, not EASA or SHGM qualified and not an FNPT II.
Our B737NG and A320-200 simulators are advanced fixed-base training devices. They are not EASA or SHGM qualified and are not an FNPT II. Sessions are supplementary support training and preparation; they do not count towards a licence issue, rating or renewal, and this is not a type rating course.
Sky Aviation does not offer entertainment or experience flights. Our sessions are for pilots and pilot candidates.

Frequently asked questions
Does Sky Aviation conduct OPC or LPC checks?
No. We offer preparation and supplementary support training only. Official checks are done in approved devices by your operator or an approved training organisation.
Does a session count for check credit?
No. Our devices are not EASA or SHGM qualified, so sessions give no check credit or licence validity.
Which types can I rehearse on?
Boeing 737NG and Airbus A320-200 fixed-base devices in Istanbul.
Can I bring my operator's procedures?
You can bring your operator's SOP summary and we discuss the differences, but our devices are not operator-specific replicas, so we work from the generic type procedures.
Are your simulators EASA or SHGM qualified?
No. They are advanced fixed-base training devices, not EASA or SHGM qualified and not an FNPT II. Sessions are supplementary support training and preparation.
