TRU Simulation has achieved FAA Level D certification and delivery of a Cessna Citation Longitude full flight simulator (FFS) for FlightSafety International's Columbus, Ohio Learning Center. The simulator will support FlightSafety in providing quality training services for Textron Aviation's flagship super-midsize Cessna Citation jet.

“At TRU, the team is committed to delivering cutting-edge training tools that enable pilots to achieve their goals,” says vice president and general manager Jerry Messaris. “Supplying high-fidelity simulators to FlightSafety aids in expanding access to excellent aviation training for pilots across the globe, and our technology ensures safe and realistic training experiences.”

FlightSafety International and TRU Simulation formed a joint venture in 2019 to better support customers' global training needs. This will be the second Cessna Citation Longitude FFS delivered to the Columbus Training Center and the third built as part of the joint venture.
