FlightSafety International is an aviation training provider with global reach. They offer comprehensive programs for pilots, maintenance technicians, cabin crew, and dispatchers. Their state-of-the-art training centers and experienced instructors ensure top-notch training, adhering to strict standards, and promoting safety and proficiency in the industry.

FlightSafety International (FSI) is investing in several avenues of new technology to enhance its delivery of simulated training for flight crew. The initiatives involve data management, increased use of augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) technology, as well as artificial intelligence (AI).
Among its most recent initiatives is a partnership with GE Digital to make better use of the data generated by its flight simulators. Based on GE’s Flight Analytics platform, the partners are developing an app that will provide a platform for comparing data between actual flights and simulator sessions to help mitigate real-world operational risks.
FSI recently announced further innovations with the Simulated Air Traffic Control Environment visual system, which is part of the Vital portfolio it introduced in 2023. This platform features improvements in high-fidelity satellite imagery for airport databases and biometric capabilities.
The aviation training group is now investing further in AR/VR technology applied to smaller devices that can benefit from Level D full flight capabilities, including visual systems, motion cueing, satellite imagery, and biometrics. According to FSI, these AR/VR devices can be useful in supplementing training conducted in aircraft and helicopters at off-site locations.
Earlier this month, FSI sponsored the Flight Simulation Engineering and Maintenance Conference at its facility in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, where it showcased some of the latest technology, including eye tracking, biometrics, and mixed-reality systems. The company said these applications could all benefit from increased use of AI and machine-learning technologies. In the longer term, it is making investments in brainwave technologies that are still several years away from maturity.
More immediately, FSI is stepping up its use of competency-based training and evaluations, which it says allow instructors to take a more holistic approach to ensuring pilots have the competency required to operate in a wide range of scenarios and conditions. The company said it is in the process of updating its curriculum and instructor training materials in accordance with FAA’s task-based requirements.
