COLUMBUS, OH (OCTOBER 18, 2022) – Today, FlightSafety International, the premier professional aviation training company, announced that they have been selected by Dassault Aviation as the exclusive training provider for the entry into service of the new Falcon 10X aircraft.
FlightSafety will initially design and manufacture two full-flight simulators for the Falcon 10X – one located in the U.S. and a second in Europe. Specific FlightSafety learning centers will be determined at a future date.
“FlightSafety is excited to extend its 50-year partnership with Dassault to become the Original Equipment Manufacturer authorized training provider for the Falcon 10X,” said Nate Speiser, EVP of Sales & Marketing at FlightSafety. “The premium experience, performance and quality of the Falcon 10X and FlightSafety’s industry-leading training are a perfect match. FlightSafety will work closely with Dassault to provide simulator testing for aircraft development and certification, and upon aircraft launch will provide the highest quality training for 10X pilots, maintenance technicians and flight attendants around the world. “
The new FlightSafety FS2500 simulators built for the Falcon 10X will be equipped with the company’s latest advancements in technology. They include the VITAL 1150 visual system, electric motion control and cueing, and advanced instructor operating station.
