FlightSafety International’s American Eurocopter AS 350 B2 Flight Training Device has been certified for Night Vision Goggle training. The FAA Level 7 qualified Flight Training Device is located at FlightSafety’s Learning Center in Tucson, AZ.

The visual system offers highly detailed, texture enhanced scenes and excels in its realistic presentation of both routine and critical weather conditions. It is also equipped with a vibrating motion base that enhances the training experience by adding a new level of realism to the training scenarios.
