FlightSafety International (Booth C8524), headquartered at New York’s La Guardia Airport, said its Sikorsky S-76D helicopter simulator at the company’s West Palm Beach, Fla., training facility has been qualified to level D by the FAA and EASA, making it the first such simulator to receive this qualification.

“The FAA and EASA level D qualification illustrates FlightSafety’s ability and commitment to provide customers with industry-leading advanced technology training equipment,” said David Davenport, FSI executive vice president.
