FlightSafety International received an order from the Civil Aviation University of China (CAUC) to design and manufacture a King Air C90GTx full-motion simulator. The device, which is expected to receive level D qualification from China’s CAAC, will be an integral part of the university’s ab initio pilot training programs. Delivery to the university’s Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province, campus is slated for the first quarter of 2016.

“FlightSafety was selected to build the King Air C90GTX simulator due to the quality and value they provide, and their excellent reputation in China,” said Xu Jianxing, president of Chaoyang Flight College, part of CAUC. “We look forward to using the simulator to help meet the ongoing strong demand for pilots in China.”

The new FlightSafety FS1000 simulator features integrated computer hardware and software that allow for accurate, high-fidelity simulation. It offers a new multi-function instructor operating station that enhances the effectiveness of training by providing an intuitive interface, scalable graphics and large touchscreen displays. The simulator will be equipped with FlightSafety’s Vital 1100 visual system, electric motion control and cueing.

To date, New York-based FlightSafety has delivered more than 1,000 visual systems and 800 flight simulators and other training devices to customers around the world.
