Company Extends Invitation To Int'l Customers
Eurocopter is offering its customers around the world the
opportunity to use an EC135 flight simulator at its site in
Donauworth, Germany.
The flight simulator at the Donauworth Training Academy serves
to train helicopter pilots. It is an additional component of
Eurocopter's global training concept, which is based on training
solutions that further increase flight safety.
"We have invested in the flight simulator in Donauworth in order
to be able to offer our national and international customers a
leading-edge training platform," said Dr. Wolfgang Schoder, CEO of
Eurocopter Germany. Simulators increase flight safety, as they
provide an ideal training solution that is available irrespective
of the weather or the availability of helicopters, and enable very
demanding missions to be carried out at no risk."
The fully maneuverable flight simulator features a full motion
system with six degrees of freedom. It has a visual-system field of
view of 160o horizontal and 80o vertical and can visualize
daylight, twilight and night conditions as well as any weather
situation. Its mission spectrum includes, for example, rescue
operations in high snowy mountains. Landscapes and buildings are
displayed realistically in 3D. The simulator was developed by
Eurocopter in collaboration with CAE and Indra.
"We have already received bookings for over 400 flight hours,"
said Charles Hebeka, Accountable Manager of the Eurocopter Training
Academy.
Certification according to JAA FTD Level 3 will begin in April
2009, so that the simulator can be used in JAR FCL 2 training
courses. There are also plans to certify it to FFS Level B at a
later date.
