Full-Flight Simulator Manufacturing & Leasing (FlightSafety Visual Systems, Mission Operator Station)
FFS Level D simulator manufacturer + visual-systems OEM + Mission Operator Station for civil and military training markets.
Beyond running its own Learning Centers, FlightSafety International is a Tier-1 manufacturer of full-flight simulators, flight training devices, advanced visual systems and mission-rehearsal training systems. The FlightSafety Visual Systems division designs the VITAL image generators and projection / display systems used in the firm's own simulators and sold to airlines, OEMs, militaries and competitor training providers worldwide. The Mission Operator Station product line equips US, NATO and allied military and parapublic operators with ISR, search-and-rescue and tactical mission rehearsal. Simulators are built to FAA Part 60 / EASA CS-FSTD(A) and CS-FSTD(H) Level D, with matched visual databases of operator-relevant airfields. Berkshire Hathaway-owned and with 70+ years of simulation heritage, FSI offers outright sale, lease, fly-away kits, and as-a-service simulator-time arrangements for OEM customer-acceptance, military mission training and civil ATO partner deployments — including a meaningful pipeline of lease and licence engagements with GCC militaries and parapublic operators.
