When the first HondaJets are delivered, planned for the fourth quarter of next year, FlightSafety International will train their pilots. FSI will establish a facility at Honda Aircraft headquarters in Greensboro, North Carolina, configured to accommodate two simulators provided by the training specialist. “We will consider adding additional simulators at other locations in the U.S. as needed,” said Honda Aircraft spokesman Stephen Keeney. FSI will also establish a European location for HondaJet training, but that location has yet to be announced.
