St. Louis Facility Offers Highest Level Of Simulator Training

FlightSafety International announced last week that the company’s Embraer 170/190 interchangeable flight simulator located at the Learning Center in St. Louis Missouri, has been qualified to Level D by the FAA. “The FAA’s Level D qualification of our Embraer 170/190 interchangeable simulator demonstrates FlightSafety’s commitment to provide Embraer aircraft operators with flexible and efficient training programs and our ability to design and manufacture advanced technology training devices that qualify to the highest standards,” said Bruce Whitman, President & CEO.

The simulator is equipped with the company’s industry leading electric motion and control loading technology and advanced VITAL visual system. FlightSafety provides training for Embraer aircraft at nine locations using a fleet of 24 full flight simulators and other advanced training devices. This includes the recent addition of Amsterdam, Curitiba in Brazil, Singapore and Zurich.

These additional locations have increased training and simulator availability and provide Embraer aircraft operators with more scheduling flexibility. Embraer selected FlightSafety earlier this year as the factory authorized training provider for the E-Jets family of commercial jets, as well as the Lineage 1000 and Legacy 600 executive jets.

FlightSafety and Embraer continue to develop new training programs, update existing courses, and determine the timing and location of additional flight simulators and other training equipment needed to support Embraer aircraft operators worldwide.
