he Escola Paranaense de Aviação (EPA) boasts over 50 years of experience in training and developing human resources for civil aviation. Throughout these years, EPA has upheld its core values of quality, safety, and professionalism, training hundreds of pilots, flight attendants, and aircraft maintenance technicians with a highly effective methodology.
In 2006, EPA was selected by Embraer to acquire flight simulators for the Embraer 110 – Bandeirante and Embraer 120 – Brasília aircraft. Certified by ANAC as a Civil Aviation Training Center, EPA began operating the Level D flight simulator for the ERJ145 / Legacy 600 in 2010, in partnership with FlightSafety International.
Today, EPA Training Center is the largest provider of regional aircraft training in Latin America, with Full Flight Simulators for the ATR 42/72, ERJ-145/Legacy 600, EMB-120 – Brasília, and EMB-110 – Bandeirante. We serve executive operators, airlines, and armed forces from over 30 countries.
The EPA Training Center, located in São José dos Pinhais, has a facility of over 2,700m² in a 24-hour secured complex, which includes:
Carbon Free Program
The EPA Training Center is part of the Carbon Free program by Iniciativa Verde, a third-sector organization that contributes to the improvement of environmental services such as biodiversity, water, and air quality.
In 2021, the EPA team conducted an assessment of CO2 emissions from employee transportation and business trips. Based on the results, in 2022, a partnership was established with Iniciativa Verde to offset these emissions through the reforestation of the Atlantic Forest. This partnership was renewed in 2023.
Through this initiative, Iniciativa Verde, in partnership with EPA, has already planted 1,001 trees and reforested an area larger than 6,000 square meters in the Serra da Mantiqueira, offsetting 234.62 tons of CO2 emissions.
