FlightSafety International is an aviation training provider with global reach. They offer comprehensive programs for pilots, maintenance technicians, cabin crew, and dispatchers. Their state-of-the-art training centers and experienced instructors ensure top-notch training, adhering to strict standards, and promoting safety and proficiency in the industry.

European and U.S. aviation authorities have approved Gulfstream G700/800 full-flight simulators at FlightSafety International (FSI) learning centers in Farnborough, UK, and Singapore, respectively, the aviation training company said this week.
EASA and the UK CAA have given their nods for the new level-D simulator at FSI’s Farnborough learning center. Engineered and manufactured by FlightSafety, the device will be used for initial, recurrent, and advanced pilot training supporting the G700 and G800.
“The G700 simulator certification in Farnborough reinforces FSI’s long-standing commitment to supporting Gulfstream operators across Europe,” said David Mann, Farnborough training center manager for FlightSafety International.
Separately, the company said the FAA has approved a similar G700/800 flight simulator at FlightSafety’s Singapore center. G700 training is now in operation at the Singapore facility under that approval, FSI said.&nbsp;This simulator is part of a configurable platform designed to expand training capability over time. Following additional regulatory approvals, FSI said the device is expected to support training for Gulfstream GVII and GVIII type ratings later this year, enabling coverage for the G500, G600, G700, and G800.
“The FAA approval is an important step forward to expand access to Gulfstream training in the Asia-Pacific region,” said FlightSafety Singapore center manager Daryl Deacon.&nbsp;According to the company, the approvals build on recent expansions at its Farnborough and Singapore learning centers and continue its investment in <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/2025-08-20/flightsafety-build-training-center-mesa-arizona">global Gulfstream training</a> capacity.
