==Company==
Located in Lebring, Austria, '''AXIS Flight Training Systems GmbH''' (www.axis-simulation.com) is one of the world's only five providers of Full Flight Simulators (FFS) for civil aviation. It was founded in 2004 by engineers and pilots with the mission of designing and building the next generation of FFS. AXIS is an SME with 95 employees. The company belongs to AXIS Simulation Holding GmbH (ASH), which holds 100% of the shares. AXIS developed its first full flight simulator, for the Fokker 100, with the support of the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) in cooperation with the Styrian Economic Development Promotion (SFG). In July 2008 this simulator received the FFS level D certificate by the Austrian Authority AUSTRO CONTROL, per the requirements of JAR-FSTD (A).
In addition to the Lebring location, AXIS has offices in Pécs, Hungary and Montreal, Canada too.

⚫
They currently manufacture full flight simulators and flight training devices for all types and configurations of aircraft, including business jets, turboprop commuters and passenger jetliners.
==Capabilities==
AXIS focuses on designing and building top-drawer FAA or EASA CS – FSTD (A) level D simulators, employing new technologies that significantly reduce complexity, improve functionality and reduce maintenance requirements. All AXIS full flight simulators have advanced features such as self-monitoring and automatic self-test programs. All of this and many other unique features result in simulators that AXIS claims are more efficient, more available, and more user-friendly than anything else on the market. AXIS has ISO 9001:2015 certification for its quality management system.


In 2010 their engineering and production departments moved to a new facility in Lebring.<ref>http://www.teccenterlebring.com/(German){{Dead link|date=September 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
==Portfolio==
⚫
AXIS manufactures full flight simulators (FFS) as well as flight training devices (FTD) for all types and configurations of aircraft, from business jets to turboprop commuters like the ATR 42/72 to passenger jetliners like the Airbus or Boeing.
