Flightsafety at Farnborough

[Son of a Beech]

Flightsafety was supposed to open it's second European location at FAB this januari, but since it is march now I wondered if there is anything known about a new opening date.

Last I heard it was June for doors open. Anyone know that sim's they will have in???

First one is the GIV (which is currently stuck in Customs!) - think June is about right for start up.

Not sure of the order but basically name an aircraft in the NetJets Europe fleet and it'll be there, plus a Beech 1900 and Beech 200.

They're certainly cracking on with the building now though.

Beech King 200, Citation CJ2, Citation Bravo, Gulfstream IV, Hawker 800XP, Beech 1900D and Saab 340 (http://www.flightsafety.com/news/385.htm)

Thanks for the rest of the info,

Is this the building thats being constructed simultaneously with the new terminal?

[Son of a Beech]

Don't know

Sort of. It's a big sandstone coloured building to the east of the current terminal complex. So it's east of the new terminal - by about 200 metres or so.

Will have to have a nosy around on Monday morning then, there appear to be two steel-girder made constructions going up together at the moment only metres away from each other, I assume that this is therefore just the one terminal?

All getting too confusing for me :{

So the building is ready, that's a start.

Now waiting for the grand opening. (and no more trips to Wichita)

Just to clarify the buildings:
The steel girder one close to the new hangars is the new terminal whilst the finished sandstone one with FlightSafety written all over it is !!!!
