For training provider FlightSafety International, the good news is that the level of training activity in the China market “has remained consistent over the past 12 months,” according to executive vice president David Davenport. “Most of the industry has seen a bit of a cool off in the China corporate aviation market, and the delivery of new aircraft has cooled off.” But China-based companies that employ pilots, technicians and flight attendants understand the benefits of not just initial but ongoing training. “They get the best they can out of it,” he said.
The most recent FlightSafety simulator approval in Asia is a Sikorsky S-76C+ and S-76C++ Level D full-flight helicopter simulator installed in Singapore, at the Learning Center located in the ST Aerospace Academy at Seletar Aerospace Park. FlightSafety has also received approval to provide FAA Part 142 training at the Singapore Learning Center. The simulator is a FlightSafety FS1000 model equipped with FlightSafety’s Vital 1100 visual system, CrewView collimated glass mirror display and electric motion control loading and cueing.
