Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Dual certification from EASA (Level 2 FTD) and FAA (Level II) expands where operators can conduct PC-12 PRO training and proficiency building with logged, regulator-recognized capability.
  • Availability of the simulator for missions in Switzerland and the U.S. via SIMCON improves training access and supports standardized smart-cockpit familiarity for PC-12 PRO crews.
  • This adds to the broader momentum in cross-regulator flight training device approvals, such as FAA/EASA qualification milestones for full-flight simulators like the Boeing 777-9 and FAA-qualified FTD offerings for aircraft training platforms like Bell’s Veris VR Bell 505.
