mm John Rosanvallon tells why an Aircraft as great as Falcon deserves FlightSaJety training. u siiillli ' : : • John Rosanvallon's distinguished tenure with the Dassault Aviation Group began in 1975 when he became Assistant to the Senior Vice President of Civil Aircraft. He served from 1979 to 1984 as VP-Finance and Administration of Falcon Jet Corporation and also as Executive Assistant to the President. He then served as Secretary General of Sogitec, an advanced software and imaging services subsidiary, until his appointment as VP/Sales and Marketing for Falcon Programs in 1989. Rosanvallon assumed his current position as Senior VP/ Worldwide Sales and Marketing, in 1995. FSI's Level "D" simulator for the new Falcon 2000 joins the Level "D" fleet of Falcon simulators at the Teterboro Learning Center near Dassault's U.S. headquarters. * ^ As the worldwide head of Falcon sales, Dassault's John Rosanvallon spends a lot of time thinking about what his corporate customers want in a business jet. But he doesn't have to think much about which training company to use - FlightSafety has been the factory-authorized training organization for Falcon pilots and main tenance technicians since 1964. "There is a general market trend in which customers are becoming more demanding than ever in terms of a total transportation package," John says. "That includes being demanding about the level and quality of training we pro vide, which is why we selected FlightSafety." He observes that Falcon aircraft - spawned from Dassault's renowned experi ence in military fighters - are known for flight and handling characteristics that really haven't changed much since the Falcon 20 first flew some 30 years ago. What has changed dramatically, A John says, is "cockpit instrumentation and avionics, /mA DASSAULJT particularly the advent and integration of flight ^ ^r F A L c 0 N JET management systems (FMS). It's all very sophisticated now, and that makes sophisticated training even more important than ever before." A mark of that dual sophistication is the Head-Up Guidance System (HGS) that Dassault is offering on the new Falcon 2000, and - as a worldwide first for business aircraft simulation - its replication on our new Level "D" Falcon 2000 simulator. While emphasizing the importance of pilot training, Rosanvallon says, "We shouldn't overlook the equal importance of maintenance technician training, for safety, and also for aircraft availability - which is the number one reason people are buying business aircraft." And John should know. FlightSafety international For more information, please call JimWaugh at (800) 877-5343 (ext 126). Fax (7X8) 565-4134.
