News Out of Daugherty Field's FlightSafety International
FlightSafety International's third Gulfstream G650 aircraft simulator has been qualified to Level D by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
"The FAA Level D qualification of FlightSafety's third Gulfstream G650 simulator clearly demonstrates our ability to design and manufacture the highest quality simulators," said Steve Gross, Vice President, Sales. "This ensures they reflect the exact operating characteristics of the aircraft and provide pilots, maintenance technicians, and flight attendants with current and relevant information."
Located at the Long Beach location, this is the first FlightSafety FS1000 simulator to receive FAA Level D qualification. FS1000 simulators are designed to enhance training and maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of FlightSafey's latest innovations in technology. They include the VITAL 1100 visual system, electronic motion cueing, and new Instructor Operating Station. The FS 1000 features tightly integrated computer hardware and software across subsystems which allows for more accurate and high fidelity simulation than found in other current and previous generation simulators.
FlightSafety International has also recently announced that Todd Bitgood has been promoted to Manager of its Learning Center at the Long Beach Airport location. He succeeds Pete Nily who has become a Regional Director of Training Operations. Congratulations to Todd and Pete for jobs well done!
FlightSafety has been the official factory authorized training organization for Gulfstream Aerospace corporation for more than four decades. The company provides more than a million hours of training each year to pilots, technicians and other aviation professionals from 167 countries and independent territories, including Long Beach.
