FlightSafety International (Booth F79) has expanded its EASA phased recurrent training program to most of the company’s training centers that provide EASA training, including the company’s Farnborough and Paris locations. The program, which is compliant with EASA's flight crew licensing regulations, Part-ORO, consists of two distinct training modules per year over a three-year period.

“This customer-focused program provides European operators with more flexible training and scheduling options that can reduce the number of days during each visit to a learning center,” said Steve Gross, FlightSafety senior vice president of commercial sales.

Topics covered during ground school are aligned with the simulator sessions, which include a line-oriented flight training exercise with at least one airport pairing. This is followed by additional exercises that help to prepare the pilot for initial and/or recurrent training. An upset prevention and recovery training course is provided each year and CAT II, special airports, and right-hand-seat training programs are also available.

In addition, FlightSafety (Booth F79) offers an international training package for those who operate under EASA. It includes either a two- or three-day recurrent training event with a license/operational proficiency check followed by an operational proficiency check six months later.
