FlightSafety International announces that its American Eurocopter AS 350 B2 Flight Training Device has been certified for Night Vision Goggle training. The FAA Level 7 qualified Flight Training Device is located at FlightSafety’s Learning Center in Tucson, Arizona.

“The addition of Night Vision Google training capabilities to our American Eurocopter AS 350 B2 Flight Training Device demonstrates FlightSafety’s desire and ability to respond quickly to the mission specific training enhancements our Customers require,” said George Ferito, Director Rotorcraft Business Development.

The AS 350 Flight Training Device is equipped with FlightSafety’s VITAL X visual system that provides 220 degree by 100 degree – 60 degrees down and 40 degrees up – wrap around visual capability. The visual system offers highly detailed, texture enhanced scenes and excels in its realistic presentation of both routine and critical weather conditions. It is also equipped with a vibrating motion base that enhances the training experience by adding a new level of realism to the training scenarios.

FlightSafety’s initial and recurrent American Eurocopter AS 350 training programs include aircraft systems, emergency and abnormal procedures, as well as human factors and specialty training such as Inadvertent IMC.
