FlightSafety's Dassault Falcon 7X full flight simulator qualified to Level D by the FAA, GACA and EASA

FlightSafety International is pleased to announce that its new Dassault Falcon 7X full flight simulator has been qualified to Level D by the United States Federal Aviation Administration, the General Authority of Civil Aviation of Saudi Arabia, and the European Aviation Safety Agency. Training will begin in January 2011 at FlightSafety's Dallas/Fort Worth Learning Center.

"Qualification of our Falcon 7X simulator by the FAA, GACA and EASA demonstrates our advanced design and high quality manufacturing capabilities," said Bruce Whitman, President & CEO. "We are proud to have served as a factory authorized training provider for Dassault Falcon for over 40 years and of our mutual commitment to provide professional training that enhances safety and offers the highest quality and best overall value."

The simulator features the advanced systems of the Falcon 7X and replicates the flight characteristics through all operational regimes. It includes the latest technology in digital flight controls, heads up guidance, and Enhanced Flight Vision System technologies and is equipped with an Emergency Vision Assurance System, Honeywell's Runway Awareness and Advisory System and Electronic Flight Bag. The simulator currently features the Dassault EASy Load 10 avionics suite and is designed and equipped for transition to the EASy II avionics suite.

"We recently delivered our 100th Falcon 7X and customers will enjoy having the option to train with FlightSafety International," said John Rosanvallon, President and CEO of Dassault Falcon.

Pilots, maintenance technicians, and other aviation professionals who operate and support the Falcon 7X will benefit from FlightSafety's highly qualified and experienced instructors, comprehensive training programs, and MATRIX integrated training system. MATRIX offers DeskTop and Graphical FlightDeck simulators for instructor led and self paced learning as well as the SimVu debriefing system that features FlightSafety's VITAL X Visual System. The new Falcon 7X aircraft simulator is also expected to be qualified and approved for training by aviation authorities in Canada, China, Brazil, India and Mexico.
