Frasca AS350 FSTD Achieves Level 6 Qualification

Third Helicopter Sim To Meet New Part 60 Standard

Era Training Center in Lake Charles, LA received received Level 6 Qualification for its Frasca-built AS350 Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD).

The AS350 -- along with Era's EC-135 FSTD, and a Bell 206 FSTD built by Frasca for Bell Helicopter Customer Training Academy in Fort Worth, TX -- are three of the first Level 6 helicopter FSTDs under the Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA) new part 60 rule.

Frasca International performed all aspects of the project including flight testing, model development and certification. Era Training Center provided the helicopter for flight testing as well as aircraft, pilots and subject matter expertise.

"Frasca is an industry leader in flight simulation and has been able to obtain qualification for several flight training devices over the years," said John Frasca, VP Frasca International, Inc. "Our success in the helicopter market is in part due to our ability to collect our own simulator data packages.

"Airframe manufactures are frequently not able or willing to offer simulation data packages," added Frasca. "As result Frasca has invested and developed its own flight test capability. This allows us to offer a turn key simulation solutions at a very competetive price."

Era Training Center officially opened on June 5, 2008 and provides training for corporate aircraft operators, air medical flight services, airborne law-enforcement personnel and other rotorcraft professionals.
