TRU Simulation + Training, a subsidiary of Textron, was awarded Australia Civil Aviation Safety Authority level-D approval for a full-flight simulator installed in Queensland for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

The simulator can support training for the entire fleet of the RFDS Queensland Section's Beechcraft King Air B200s and B300s. Described as “the first of its kind in Australia,” the simulator is housed in a purpose-built training facility next to the RFDS base in Bundaberg.
