Built between 1966 and 1968 as part of the Stapleton Airport complex, United’s Flight Training Center serves as the sole training facility for the airline’s 12,000 active pilots and newly hired pilots. Every nine months, pilots must visit the training center to remain up-to-date on certifications. At any one time, there may be up to 600 pilots training at the facility.<\/p>\n

The 23-acre campus, located in Denver’s Central Park neighborhood, currently consists of seven buildings across 550,000 square feet of training space, which houses 39 full-motion flight simulators and 15 fixed training devices. <\/p>\n
The expansion, which is expected to be completed before the end of 2023, will add a new four-story building that will house training classrooms, conference rooms, offices and 12 additional advanced flight simulators.<\/p>\n
A United spokesperson confirmed to FOX Business that the new simulators will train pilots on Airbus jetliners, the Boeing 737 Max and the 787 Dreamliner. <\/p>\n
