Embraer has chosen FlightSafety International as the authorized training provider for its mid-light Legacy 450 and midsize Legacy 500 executive jets, the company announced here. The partnership also extends to the super-midsize Legacy 600, the large Legacy 650 and the ultra-large Lineage 1000, as well as its family of E-Jet commercial airliners. The move signals a shift in approach for Embraer, from its reliance on a joint venture with CAE for training on the smaller Phenom 100 and 300 light jets.

The contract calls for Embraer and FlightSafety to work in tandem to develop new training programs, update existing courses and determine the timing and location of additional flight simulators, devices and equipment needed to support Embraer operators.
