FAA Qualifies FlightSafety Simulator for Upset Training
A G550 sim incorporates expanded aerodynamic, flight control and motion models for upset prevention and recovery training.

FlightSafety International's first full-flight simulator capable of re-creating flight parameters critical to the accurate representation of upset prevention and recovery training maneuvers (UPRT) received FAA qualification, the company announced on June 11. The agency evaluated and qualified the expanded aerodynamic, flight control and motion models developed by FlightSafety and incorporated into the Gulfstream G550 simulator. As a result, FlightSafety will have the first full-flight simulator qualified for UPRT under AFS-205, FSTD Guidance Bulletin 11-05.
