More FAA Level “D” Simulators For The World’s
Largest Fleet
FlightSafety International’s
Simulation Systems Division is producing a number of Level
“D” full-flight simulators for delivery within the next
few months to the company’s learning centers.
At the FlightSafety Simulation Tulsa facility, soon to be
delivered are:
- Gulfstream 200 (the second) for the DFW Center in November
- Beechcraft King Air 350 (Proline) for the Raytheon Center next
January
- Beechcraft King Air 200 (Proline) to go to the Wichita Center
in February, 2004

- Wichita
- Cessna CJ3 – the first – to the Wichita Cessna
Center in May
- Hawker HORIZON – the first – to the Raytheon Center
in Wichita in July
All the new FlightSafety simulators provide the superior visual
environment of the VITAL-9 system. Surrounding the cockpit with
finely detailed, richly textured scenes, the VITAL system excels in
its realistic weather presentations. Every permutation of critical
weather is convincingly created for superimposition on the chosen
environment, from wind-driven snow to tropical lightning. The
infinitely variable meteorological conditions are selected with a
few finger-taps from the Instructor Operating Station.
Founded in 1951 at the Marine Air Terminal on LaGuardia Airport,
New York, FlightSafety International is the nation’s foremost
aviation training organization. The company will provide training
services this year for over 75,000 aviation professionals –
pilots, maintenance technicians, crewmembers and support
personnel.
