FlightSafety International is to provide training for the new Embraer Praetor 600 at its Learning Centers in Dallas and St Louis.

“FlightSafety is pleased to expand the support it provides to Embraer aircraft owners and operators with training for the new Praetor 600 aircraft,” says senior vice president, commercial Steve Gross. “FlightSafety and Embraer share a common commitment to enhance aviation safety and to provide our mutual customers with the highest quality training programmes and services.”

The initial, recurrent and other specialised courses will be provided by FlightSafety’s dedicated team of experienced instructors using advanced technology training systems that include a FlightSafety FS1000 simulator.

The advanced technology systems incorporated into the simulator will include electric motion and electric control loading, a new multi-function Instructor Operating Station and FlightSafety’s VITAL 1100 Visual System. The Instructor Operating Station is designed to enhance the effectiveness of training by providing an intuitive interface, scalable graphics and large multi touch displays. The visual system features continuous high-resolution global satellite imagery capable of distinguishing environmental conditions experienced during all phases of flight, from taxi and take off to landing.

FlightSafety serves as the factory authorised training provider for the majority of Embraer’s commercial and executive jets. The two companies work closely to develop new training programmes to update existing courses and to determine the timing and location of additional flight simulators, training devices and equipment that will be needed to support Embraer aircraft operators around the world. Training is provided at 13 FlightSafety locations in Brazil, France, the Netherlands, South Africa, the UK and the US using a fleet of 32 full flight simulators and other advanced training devices.
