Beginning in January 2025, pilots in Europe will be able to receive training in a new Cessna Citation CJ3+/M2 Gen2 convertible full-flight simulator at FlightSafety International’s Farnborough, UK learning center. The simulator is being manufactured by Textron’s TRU Simulation + Training division.

Equipped with a third-generation control loading system, the simulator features real aircraft parts and Garmin’s G3000 avionics, providing a more realistic experience for trainees. FlightSafety’s Vital 1150 image-generation system provides the simulator's visuals, including high-resolution airfield models and imagery projected onto a 200- by 40-degree display. The electric motion base uses TRU’s RealCue system with 42-inch-stroke actuators. TRU’s latest simulator frame design accommodates configurable seating and arrangement of the instructor station and ease of access to internal equipment to maintain the device.
