TRU Simulation + Training, an aviation training solutions company, has received Level D qualification from the FAA for its full-flight simulator on the Textron Aviation Cessna SkyCourier, allowing pilot training to begin.
This announcement comes just one month after the SkyCourier received FAA type certification.
“The success of the Cessna SkyCourier simulator program is the result of the collaboration between the Textron Aviation flight test and production teams, FlightSafety International’s courseware and instructor teams and our employees at TRU,” said Jerry Messaris, vice president and general manager of TRU Simulation + Training. “Together, we worked on the design, production, testing and qualification of the simulator to ensure the highest quality training device, and we look forward to pilots utilizing it for many years to come.”
The Cessna SkyCourier is Textron Aviation’s new twin-engine, large-utility turboprop. The manufacturer says the aircraft’s production line is underway, and the first SkyCourier is expected to hit the market in the coming months.
The SkyCourier’s full-flight simulator is located at FlightSafety’s Wichita East Learning Center, and is equipped with Garmin G1000 NXi avionics, featuring real aircraft parts throughout the cockpit.
