FlightSafety is the world’s premier aviation and marine training company, training more than 75,000 pilots, aircraft maintenance technicians, ship operators, flight attendants and flight dispatchers each year. Aviation and marine professionals from around the globe come to one of our 40 Learning Centers to train on the world’s largest and most advanced fleet of simulators and to learn from our knowledgeable and highly trained instructors using the most up-to-date instructional methods and technology. We also design and manufacture state-of-the-art simulators for a wide range of business and commercial aircraft and ships. Our simulators, from classroom-based desktop units to full-motion full flight simulators, use integrated software designed and built by us to provide continuity throughout each training course.
The Worldwide Training LeaderWe are the factory-authorized trainer for the vast majority of today’s aircraft manufacturers. Those companies know that the most important safety device in any cockpit is a well-trained pilot. Our company reached its position as the world’s pre-eminent aviation and marine training company through decades of reliable instruction that has always made safety its uncompromising goal. Al Ueltschi founded FlightSafety in 1951. He continued to fly as a commercial pilot for many years after he started the company, and he remains the company’s chairman. At the insistence of Ueltschi and company President Bruce Whitman, we have done more than just keep up with instructional trends – we have been an innovator at the leading edge of training to ensure safe operations and procedures.
FlightSafety training centers are equipped with the most advanced instructional technology and staffed by experienced
professionals who keep abreast of the latest aviation developments and who are adept at instructional methods that help
students retain the critical knowledge required by today’s sophisticated aircraft. FlightSafety designs and publishes simulation software that is an industry standard. We make our own simulators, including the type-specific, full flight simulators that realistically re-create flight down to the smallest details. We also operate one of the world’s top “ab initio” – from the beginning – flight training centers for students who want to become a commercial or corporate pilot or a flight instructor. More than 13,000 of our graduates fly for 62 airlines and more than 100 corporate flight departments.
