FlightSafety's second full-flight simulator for
the Cessna CJ2 business jet at the Cessna Learning Center in
Wichita a has been Level "D" certificated by the FAA. It features
the new VITAL V-9 high definition visual system.
The new Citation 02 simulator is the second in the FlightSafety
training system that includes all models of Citation aircraft at
nine locations in the FlightSafety Cessna training network.
The advanced 02 simulator is at the leading edge of technology for
Level "D" flight simulation. Its host computer is a WinTel
Pentium-based unit that fulfills the simulator's need for massive
computing power, while offering the flexibility and operational
convenience of a mainstream commercial device. The host computer's
operating system for simulator control and data manipulation is
simplified through the use of commercial software.
The host computer in the advanced CJ2 simulator drives many
flight replication features while simultaneously instructing the
simulator's multiple subsystem computers, which must work as a team
in a fraction of a second, to create the completely accurate
cockpit and flight environment required for Level "D"
certification.
All the advanced simulators produced by FlightSafety Simulation
now benefit from the significant increase in speed and flexibility
of the WinTel configuration of the host computer. Wichita Cessna
Center's CJ2 simulator is the product of FlightSafety Simulation in
Tulsa, Oklahoma. Its new-generation VITAL V-9 visual display that
surrounds the cockpit is supplied by FlightSafety Visual Simulation
Systems Division in St. Louis, Missouri.
