Pair of FlightSafety Cessna Caravan Sims Get FAA Nod

FlightSafety International received FAA level-D qualification for two Cessna Caravan simulators at its Wichita East learning center. The simulators are equipped with Garmin G1000 and Garmin G600 avionics.

Both devices feature FlightSafety’s latest visual system, which simulates the imagery and environmental conditions experienced during aircraft taxi; takeoff; en route and tactical flight operations; visual navigational and instrument flight; and landing maneuvers. Simulated flight conditions include continuous time of day, night, dawn/dusk and weather features. High-definition micro texture provides additional scene resolution that gives crewmembers the necessary cues to train for virtually any altitude and position, FlightSafety said.

The company’s Wichita East center also provides training for the Beechcraft Baron, Bonanza, Beechjet 400A and King Air B200, C90, C200, 350; Cessna Citation CJ4, CJ3+, M2 and Mustang; and Hawker Premier I/IA, 400XP, 800XP and 900XP and 4000.
