Training Center Frankfurt

The Federal Republic of Germany is the largest country in Central Europe. It is bordered to the north by Denmark, to the east by Poland and the Czech Republic, to the south by Austria and Switzerland, and to the west by France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. Germany is one of the most influential European nations culturally, and one of the world‘s main economic powers. Known around the world for its high-tech products and precision engineering, the country stands for quality and sustainability. Frankfurt Airport is located in the economic center of Germany and can easily be accessed by international visitors. With the currency being euros and the two main languages German and English, travelling the country is very comfortable for foreigners.

Fire Training Center Frankfurt has been an internationally recognized training center for fire safety in airports for more than 10 years. The training area, with its unique fire simulation system on which all possible fire scenarios can be displayed in specially designed containers, offers optimal training possibilities at the highest level. In addition, our specialists run Fire Extinguisher Courses on mobile mock-ups.

FTC Frankfurt is located 4.6 km from Frankfurt Airport and can be reached by car within 6 minutes.

This training field consists of two buildings with six classrooms. Each classroom is equipped with projectors, laptops, an integrated sound system and a classic (not interactive) whiteboard. Illustration tools are available for all requested technical and classroom-based course programs. 3-D scale models, for example cut-out models of pump systems, standpipe systems, sprinkler systems, and aircraft parts such as doors and fuselage parts, are also available. A three level/ floor smoke house (scale 1:25) for illustrating smoke development is also part of the training models. The range of classroom group sizes runs from a minimum of 12 to up to 80 course participants. The training center also has a technical center – a chemistry room with a tiled floor chemistry table.

Live Fire Simulator 1: We provide a computercontrolled narrow/wide body simulator in combination with two upper deck sections, on which we can simulate 20 different inside and outside fire scenarios. The simulator includes five different aircraft door types with different opening mechanisms.

Live Fire Simulator 2: The simulator is a computer-controlled narrow/wide body aircraft in combination with undercarriage and engine fire simulation; a main landing gear fire simulator provides a realistic fire scenario for responding units.

Disabled Aircraft Recovery Simulator: This is a 67-ton, narrow body aircraft simulator, based on an Airbus A320. The simulator is designed and built to provide every imaginable scenario when it comes to a disabled aircraft recovery operation. With this simulator, it is possible to simulate typical aircraft overrun situations, the loss of one or more landing gears, nose gear collapse and a combination of all of these. With two independent water tanks inside the recovery simulator, it is possible to simulate changes in the center of gravity.
