Matt Hapgood, president of Charlotte, N.C.-based Part 142 flight simulation provider FlyRight, announced at NBAA 2015 that the company is expanding its Charlotte training center. “This expansion provides us with the capacity we need to meet the growing training needs of our current clients and an expanding customer base,” he said. “We’ll be strategically adding equipment to our simulator fleet.”

The physical plant is also expanding, and the company expects to also break ground on another facility in the immediate vicinity. All that construction is planned to help the company keep up with business, as well as expand from its current focus as a provider of King Air flight simulation to other platforms.

In other news, Flyright (Booth C7633) announced that it now provides King Air 350 Part 135 training, including initial type ratings, as well as recurrency and Part 135 checks on a level-D King Air 350 flight simulator. The company also announced that its level-C King Air B200 simulator has received commuter category qualification.
