ELITE Simulation Solutions AG is a Swiss manufacturer of flight simulation training devices (FTDs) and flight training software, headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland, with a US office in Orlando, Florida. Founded in 1987, ELITE has been supplying certified flight training devices to flight schools, airlines, universities, and military operators worldwide for more than 35 years. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and has sold over 1,000 devices to more than 600 flight schools globally.
ELITE's products span fixed-wing and rotary-wing simulators, motion systems, and custom flight training device development. Its certification credentials are extensive: the company has achieved approvals from FAA, EASA, CASA, and CAA, and has a self-stated 100% success rate on device certification applications. Key milestones include the first FAA approval in 1996, first JAA/JAR FNPT II certification in 2003, and the launch of an Airbus FTD2 (EASA) in 2022 and an Embraer E2 EASA FTD2 in 2025. ELITE's EASA FTD2 category devices are the highest-fidelity non-full-motion simulators EASA certifies, qualifying for instrument rating and type rating training credit.
Notable commercial customers include Airbus (Learjet 35A FTD2), Pilatus (12 FTD2 devices deployed across 14 countries), Diamond Aviation (DA42 G1000 simulators), Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, and JETSIMs in Greece. An Emirates CFII testimonial confirms professional airline pilot use. ELITE markets directly and through its web shop, offering a unique retail-accessible model for lower-tier flight training devices. The company's iOS operating system platform is positioned as a versatile simulation platform. ELITE also explicitly serves eVTOL operators, ATC operators, and therapeutic/neurological work applications, reflecting product breadth beyond traditional pilot training.
