AgustaWestland has approved the FlightSafety International Learning Center in Lafayette, LA as an AgustaWestland Authorized Training Center. FlightSafety International has been providing AW139 Training since May, 2013.
Courses for the popular AW139 intermediate helicopter delivered from the Learning Center benefit from an AW139 Level D qualified Full Flight Simulator which features FlightSafety's electric motion and control loading technology and new VITAL 1100 visual system. The advanced VITAL 1100 visual system provides highly realistic visuals designed for comprehensive training scenarios.
