Cessna Preparing for Heavy Training Schedule

New Simulators to Join Fleet at FSI

Cessna's customer support continues to expand through its partnership with FlightSafety International. With the increasing fleet of Citations, and the three newest Citations (the Mustang,
CJ3 and Sovereign, right), Cessna projects the need to add eight simulators as the new products reach the customer delivery phase.

Cessna and FlightSafety currently offer Citation and Caravan customers flight training on 44 flight training devices. Of these, 20 are certified by the FAA to Level "D," the highest designation for realism in flight replication. Since January 2003, Cessna and FlightSafety have added four new Level "D" simulators.

Ahead of the power curve...

"One of our goals is to provide customers with the ability to train in a certified flight simulator at the time their aircraft is delivered. With new products like the Citation Sovereign, this means we are working on simulator certification simultaneously with aircraft certification. Historically, we have certified flight simulators several months after the delivery of a brand-new product. With the Citation Sovereign, we expect to have it in operation before the delivery of the first Sovereign," said Chad Martin, Cessna's Manager of Training.

Cessna's FlightSafety partnership extends from 1980. Since that time, over 100,000 pilots and maintenance technician courses for Citations and Caravans have been provided. Cessna and FlightSafety signed a new 15-year agreement in April 2002 that continues Cessna's recognition of FlightSafety as the official factory-authorized training organization for all Citations and Caravans.
