Era Training Center Upgrades S76 FSTDs

Era Training Center (ETC) has contracted with Frasca for the design and construction of a Sikorsky S76 C++ Level 6 Helicopter Flight Simulator Training Device (FSTD). The FSTD will be an exact replica of the Sikorsky S76 C++ Helicopter featuring Frasca’s latest technology including a TruVision Global visual system with an extensive, highly detailed database, electronic cockpit displays, flight test validation data, blade element modeling, automatic certification testing, exact cockpit replication, electric control loading and multi-channel sound simulation.

This will be the third Frasca FSTD ordered by ETC. The center currently uses Frasca built EC135 and AS350B2 FSTDs which were delivered in 2008. "Frasca is pleased to continue our relationship with ETC by providing the S76 FSTD," stated John Frasca, VP, Frasca International, Inc. "We are committed to providing the best helicopter devices available. Working with Era Training Center has helped us to succeed in this area."

"The S76 series provides worldwide support for many different segments of the helicopter industry. With the C+ and C++ advancements of Integrated Instrument Display System, Digital Automatic Flight Control System, Digital Engine Control Unit, and mission specific avionic installations, the requirement for cost effective and comprehensive integrated training packages are in high demand." stated Paul White, General Manager, ETC. ETC provides training for corporate aircraft operators, air medical flight services, airborne law-enforcement personnel and other rotorcraft professionals. Located near Era Helicopters’ headquarters at the Lake Charles, Louisiana, Regional Airport.
