Leonardo and FlightSafety International (FSI) have announced at Heli-Expo 2024 the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to evaluate a range of potential collaborations in the field of training and simulation in the United States.
Under the MoU, the partners will evaluate the potential design, production, sale and operation of training devices for use at FlightSafety, Leonardo’s helicopter sites or third-party facilities.

The MoU enables multiple helicopters type to be considered, enabling the partners to benefit from respective simulation and training capabilities and presence in the US and internationally.

Furthermore, the partners would discuss the potential appointment of FlightSafety’s training entities or divisions as Leonardo Authorized Training Centres for the supply of training services using the training devices.

The MoU potentially paves the path to a major boost in best-in-class helicopter training services for modern and successful Leonardo helicopter types leveraging the established expertise of FlightSafety and Leonardo in localized training and simulation technologies and services to meet existing and emerging market requirements.
