Level B FSS and Level III FTD Approval Granted In Scotland
Bristow Academy in Aberdeen,
Scotland has received dual qualification for their Frasca-built S92
Full Flight Simulator (FFS), according to Frasca International of
Urbana, IL. The S92 FFS is the first certified helicopter device
under the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA)
Training Orginazation with both Level B FFS and Level III
FTD approval.
The S92 FFS is being used at the Bristow Academy in Aberdeen to
support training requirement for Bristow's global fleet of S92
aircraft. A second FFS for the EC225 helicopter will be delivered
in mid 2010 and will also be dual certified to the same level. Both
units feature 6 axis electric motion base, TruVision Global visual
system with custom databases and wrap around display system.
With these devices, Frasca demonstrates the ability as an
industry leader in simulation to meet training needs in a demanding
environment. This project involved thousands of man hours of
intensive research, gathering of aerodynamic system data,
programming and manufacturing a high-fidelity replica of the
cockpit.
"We are confident that helicopter industry leaders, such as
Bristow, will be able to use similar devices to meet their training
needs in a cost-effective manner. This product demonstrates our
ability to build such devices and provide a complete training
solution for modern advanced helicopters in use around the world,"
stated Mike Phillips, Senior Manager, Helicopter Business
Development, Frasca International, Inc.
"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. 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 competitive price."
