FlightSafety International announces that training for the Gulfstream G650™ aircraft will be offered at its Learning Center located at the Farnborough airport in the United Kingdom. Training is expected to begin in March 2017 following Level D qualification of the simulator.
This will be the fourth training location and fifth simulator for Gulfstream G650. Two simulators for the aircraft are installed at the FlightSafety Learning Center in Savannah, Georgia. The others are in service in Long Beach, California and Wilmington, Delaware.
