Full Flight Simulators Granted Level D Certification By EASA

EASA has granted Level D qualification to CAE for its Airbus Helicopters H225 full-flight simulator (FFS) located in its Olso, Norway, training center. Level D is the highest qualification for flight simulators by EASA.

The H225 training program, conveniently located adjacent to Oslo's Gardermoen Airport, offers initial and recurrent training as well as mission specific training for offshore oil and gas, search and rescue (SAR) and military operating profiles.

The CAE 3000 Series full-flight simulator is equipped with the CAE Tropos 6000 visual system and uses Airbus Helicopters' original data package, providing unprecedented level of realism for pilot mission training. The CAE Oslo training centre is scheduled to become an Airbus Helicopters Approved Simulation Centre later this year. 

"This new simulator reaffirms Airbus Helicopters' efforts towards enhancing flight safety in the particularly harsh environment encountered in the North Sea," said Matthieu Louvot, Airbus Helicopters Senior Vice President Support & Services. "The H225 program leverages the safest and most innovative technologies, and is close to our customers' bases of operation."
