FlightSafety International has commenced training for the Gulfstream G650 aircraft at its Dallas Learning Center using a new FS1000 simulator. Dallas is the compny's fifth G650 training location and this is the sixth full flight simulator the company has built to serve operators of the aircraft around the world.

“Our customers who fly the G650 can now benefit from a wide variety of courses in Dallas using this new advanced technology simulator,” says Nathan Speiser, executive vice president, sales and marketing. “They include our industry-leading series of advanced training courses, Required Navigation Performance Authorization Required (RNP AR), Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) touchdown and rollout, as well as initial and recurrent training. We also offer the ground school portion of recurrent training online through our instructor-led LiveLearning system.”

The simulator also features tightly integrated computer hardware and software across subsystems which allows for more accurate and higher fidelity simulation than found in other current and previous generation simulators.
