FlightSafety International has added a new Embraer Praetor 500/600 full-flight simulator at its Orlando, Florida learning center. The Praetor simulator is already FAA level-D-qualified and available for training this month, with recurrent training slots available in October.
Another Praetor simulator will be placed at a FlightSafety facility in Europe, although the companies haven’t identified the location but said training there will begin by year-end 2024.
FlightSafety offers Praetor and Legacy 450/500 pilot training in Dallas and St. Louis, as well as Orlando. Maintenance training for the midsize jets is available at the company's Paris Le Bourget and St. Louis learning centers. Online ground school for certain pilot and maintenance courses is also available through FlightSafety's LiveLearning portal.
“Offering additional training capacity is important for supporting our customers,” said Carlos Naufel, president and CEO of Embraer Services and Support. “These two new full-flight simulators bring us even closer to Praetor family pilots and operators in the U.S. and Europe and will provide us with the opportunity to share our latest technological updates and best-in-class support.”
“FlightSafety is committed to addressing the increasing demand for Embraer Praetor training,” said Nate Speiser, executive v-p of FlightSafety sales and marketing. “As Embraer’s training partner, we are proud to announce consecutive simulator deployments in two regions to support the worldwide training demand for this quickly growing fleet.”
