First Falcon 2000S entering service
Dassault is preparing to deliver the first Falcon 2000S to an Indian customer following certification of the super-midsize business jet by the country’s civil aviation authority on 1 November.
The aircraft will be handed over to an unnamed Bangalore-based customer in December. The 10-seat twin-jet has already been approved by the US, European, Brazilian, Mexican and Turkish aviation authorities and Canadian validation is expected shortly, the French airframer says.
The 2000S was launched in May 2011 as a rival to Bombardier’s Challenger 300 and Gulfstream’s G280. The twinjet features inboard leading edge wing slats, high-Mach blended winglets, Pratt & Whitney PW308C engines and an approach speed of 107kt (198km/h), allowing it to land at airports with challenging, steep approaches and short runways – such as London City airport in the UK capital.
The 2000S also sports a BMW Group DesignworksUSA interior and a redesigned cockpit incorporating the EASy II flightdeck. Dassault has delivered 10 of the types to date.

The inboard slats are wonderful, indeed. Vrefs are nice and low and - contrary to pictures in the brochures - the cockpit actually looks nice. CPDLC works, too...

hi Actually it was good
i went in January temperature around 25° a bit of fog sometimes.
good training facilities , free food excellent crew lounge.
a lots of hotels available around (20 min Drive) and a driver to pick you up from/to the hotel or airport to CAE.
the training was far better than FSI Paris.
its a shame we have to use FSI TEB otherwise i will do all my recurrent in DXB.
cheers

Looks like I'll be in Burgess Hill for that 2000EXS-EASy II rating (wow, what great title to add to the CV...did I spell it correctly?).
Any suggestions for suitable hotels and proper food (maybe not eat fish&chips every day...) and other things to do apart from heavy studies , and also, is it a good idea to have a car available?
Would have preferred to do it in DXB but they have the SIM there in F900 mode.
