EMBRY-RIDDLE Aeronautical University's Advanced Flight Simulation Centre has opened at its Daytona Beach, Florida, campus, equipped with a Raytheon Beech 1900D full-flight simulator built by FlightSafety International. The centre is a joint venture between Embry-Riddle and FlightSafety, and offers training to airlines as well as to the university's students.
A FlightSafety-built Boeing 737 -300 simulator will be installed in July, and is to be ready for training by September. Both the 1900D and 737 are Level D simulators.
Embry-Riddle, meanwhile, has launched a flight-simulator maintenance course at Daytona. Students work on Frasca 141 and 142 simulators, which the university uses for pilot training on piston singles and twins. Maintenance training will also be performed on the 1900D and 737 simulators.
