FlightSafety International to Design and Manufacture Another Airbus A320 Full Flight Simulator

NEW YORK (February 5, 2015) – FlightSafety International announces that it has received an order to design and manufacture another Airbus A320 full flight simulator.

The Airbus STD 1.8 simulator is expected to receive Level D qualification from the Civil Aviation Administration of China following delivery at the end of 2015. It will be installed at the Flight Standard Office of the Civil Aviation Administration of China in Shanghai to support Flight Test Pilot Training.

“We are very pleased to build a third Airbus A320 simulator for Wisesoft Corporation,” said John Van Maren, Vice President, Simulation. “This clearly demonstrates FlightSafety’s ability to build simulators that meet Wisesoft’s high standards for fidelity and quality, and to provide the delivery schedule, service and support they require. A growing number of airlines from around the world understand and appreciate the value FlightSafety provides, and the advantages we offer as an industry-leading supplier of full flight simulators.”

“Selecting FlightSafety to supply a third Airbus A320 simulator was an easy decision,” said Ding Kun, General Manager, SafetyWing Aviation Training. “We are very pleased with the quality, performance and reliability of FlightSafety’s simulators, and look forward to receiving the new Airbus A320 simulator later this year.”

The new FlightSafety FS1000 simulator being built for Wisesoft features tightly integrated computer hardware and software across subsystems which allow for more accurate and higher fidelity simulation. It offers a new multi-function Instructor Operating Station designed to enhance the effectiveness of training by providing an intuitive interface, scalable graphics, and large multi touch displays. The simulator will be equipped with FlightSafety’s VITAL 1100 visual system, electric motion control and cueing. The original Airbus panels installed in the flight deck will also help to ensure the highest quality training.
