ProFlight Proficiency
Flight Training of Carlsbad, California has purchased a
MOTUS® Type-Specific Citation CJ3 simulation device from Fidelity
Flight Simulation. This unit will include a stimulated ProLine 21 integrated
avionics suite including a 3-screen display, the APP-85 AFCS, the FMS-3000
Flight Management System, and electronic charting capabilities on the
adaptive flight displays. The ProFlight Citation CJ3 will be approved
by the FAA at Flight Training Device Level 6, although the unit will
incorporate a six axis motion base, a cross-cockpit visual display, and
other features typically found only on Level D full flight simulators.
Fidelity will be purchasing aerodynamic data, technical data and all cockpit
components directly from Cessna Aircraft Company.
“It is essential for ProFlight to present the most realistic flight
training environment possible to provide the high quality training that
our customers have come to expect from our programs,” according
to Caleb Taylor, President of ProFlight. “Having Cessna’s support
in manufacturing the CJ flight-training device nicely complements our
proven training methods and will ensure the success of our CJ program.”
The Citation CJ3 is the second simulation device purchased by ProFlight
from Fidelity Flight Simulation. ProFlight is one of the leading Cessna
Conquest 441 and 425 training providers in the nation, and uses a Fidelity
MOTUS full-motion Conquest simulator in a program that includes, among
other things, highly qualified professional instructors and a proprietary
state-of-the-art computer-aided ground school presentation.
“We are delighted to be working with ProFlight on the CJ3,” said
Graham Hodgetts, President of Fidelity Flight Simulation. “ProFlight
has established itself as an outstanding provider of simulation-based training
services. We are certain they will be as successful in Citation training
as they have been in providing Conquest training all these years.”
“We are very pleased to enter into contract on our second simulator
with Fidelity,” added Mr. Taylor. “In the coming months ProFlight
will develop a curriculum and training courseware that, coupled with Cessna’s
cooperation in building the flight training device, will allow us to offer
a highly effective training program to CJ pilots.”
