FlightSafety International is preparing to install the first Dassault Falcon 2000LXS full flight simulator will be installed at the Paris-Le Bourget Learning Center in September. Training with the new FlightSafety FS1000 system is set to begin in January 2016.
  
The simulator will feature EASy II avionics, an Enhanced Flight Visual System, interchangeable Rockwell Collins and Elbit head-up displays, and the Emergency Vision Assurance System. It will be approved to Level D standards by both EASA and the FAA, with other national authorities expected to follow according to customer needs.
  
According to FlightSafety, the FS1000 features tightly integrated computer hardware and software across subsystems that allow for more accurate and higher fidelity simulation than found in existing simulators. The simulator uses the high fidelity Vital 1100 visual system.
    
New Online Training
  
Meanwhile, FlightSafety has boosted its online training program with new and updated LiveLearning and eLearning courses. LiveLearning allows customers to train from any computer with an Internet connection. They are supported by instructors and also interact with other students while making use of online annotation tools, cockpit recordings and videos. 
  
The new LiveLearning courses cover the following topics: reduced vertical separation minimums, ICAO en route and terminal RNAV, international procedures for South America, weather radar and WebECTM/engine condition trend monitoring.
  
The training provider says it is making significant changes to its international procedures program. They now include geographical region-specific training for Asia, Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, Europe, Mexico, the Middle East and New Zealand. It also has in introduced a new online reference library that pilots can use to prepare for this part of their training.
  
Two new self-paced eLearning courses are now available. One is the Gulfstream G280 CPDLC data link scenario-based program to meet AC-120-70 requirements. The other is a new maintenance engine run and taxi course, covering runway incursions, airport signs and markings, communicating with ATC, as well as preparing aircraft and crew for an engine run.
  
Sixteen FlightSafety instructors recently received the FAA’s gold seal instructor certificate. This recognition goes to instructors who have high personal qualifications and good records as active flight instructors.
