Sometimes, It's Good To Get A 'D'

Cessna Citation CJ4 Simulator Qualified To Level D By FAA

The FAA has qualified the first Citation CJ4 training simulator to Level D, Cessna announced this week. The simulator, owned and operated by FlightSafety International at its Wichita Citation training facility, is the first Citation simulator qualified under new federal simulator regulations.

The Citation CJ4, Cessna’s newest entry in the light business jet category, gained FAA type certification in March and the first aircraft was delivered in April.

Under FAA regulations, Level D qualified simulators are the highest fidelity, full-motion simulators available, giving trainees a more realistic training environment. Training in a Level D full-motion simulator gives pilots the opportunity to experience, and prepare for, a wider range of scenarios too impractical to do in an airplane.

The new FlightSafety CJ4 simulator, produced with Cessna engineering support and parts, is the first Citation simulator qualified under new FAA 14 CFR Part 60 regulations.

FlightSafety is Cessna’s authorized Citation training partner with extensive Cessna training facilities in Wichita, KS; Orlando, FL; Columbus and Toledo, OH; Atlanta, GA; Long Beach, CA; and San Antonio, TX, in the U.S. International locations include outside London at Farnborough Airport (FAB/EGLF) and at Paris LeBourget Airport (LBG/LFPB), all capable of providing initial and recurrent Citation training.
