With more than 70 years of training heritage and the financial stability of Berkshire Hathaway ownership since 1996, FSI delivers FAA Part 142 + EASA Part-FCL dual-track type ratings on Level D full-flight simulators with matched-fidelity visuals, motion and avionics so pilots step out of the simulator into the actual cockpit with no transition delta.
