Fairchild Aerospace has selected FlightSafety International (FSI) to provide training on the Fairchild 428JET and 728JET.

FSI will build and operate two Level D flight simulators at locations to be selected later.

Training for the manufacturer's Dornier 328 turboprop and 328JET is already provided by Schreiner Aviation Training at simulator centres in the USA and Europe.

FSI provides training on the Bombardier CRJ100/200 and Embraer RJ-135/145 regional jets at several locations.

The company plans to have 16 simulators for each type in service by 2002.
