FlightSafety announced today at an NBAA press conference several new offerings for business aviation pilots, including new iPad capabilities, a web-based ADS-B course and a new type rating. Beginning next year, the training provider will offer type ratings for Bombardier’s Challenger 350.

The new type rating will be offered at FlightSafety’s Learning Center in Columbus, Ohio, where the company will also offer training for the Challenger 605. Level D simulators will be provided for both programs. The simulators offer the latest in picture fidelity with the Vital 1100 visual system, which FlightSafety claims provides added realism with five times the performance of previous systems.
