FlightSafety International has announced that it will provide training for the new Bombardier Challenger 350 and Challenger 605 at its learning centre in Columbus, Ohio starting next year.

“Customers are pleased that FlightSafety will offer training for the Bombardier Challenger 350 and add another Challenger 605 training location,” said Bruce Whitman, president & CEO.

“FlightSafety has the experience and capability to introduce new programmes and full flight simulators that enhance safety and provide the highest quality training at conveniently located learning centres,” added Whitman.

The new Challenger 350 programme will begin in the spring of 2014 followed by the Challenger 605 later in the year. FlightSafety will design and manufacture new simulators and other advanced training devices for both aircraft. The simulators will be qualified to Level D, and feature the recently announced VITAL 1100 visual system.

The Columbus learning centre currently offers eight full flight simulators. They are used to provide training for the Bombardier Global 6000, Cessna Citation XL, Citation Sovereign, Citation XLS, Citation X, Dassault Falcon 2000, and Hawker 900XP.
