Level D Capable Bell 407GX FFS Delivered To Bell Helicopter Training Academy

First FFS Built For The 407GX

A Full Flight Simulator (FFS) based on the Bell 407GX has been delivered to the Bell Helicopter Training Academy, Fort Worth Texas. This is the first FFS built for the Bell 407GX helicopter.

Built by Frasca, the FSS features include TruVision Global visual system with TruNVG (night vision goggle) capability, a six axis motion system with 62” actuators and a secondary six axis vibration system (Frasca’s TruCue). 

Based on their training needs the Bell Helicopter Training Academy requested and received U.S. FAA Level B, European EASA Level B and EASA Level 3 FTD approval.

The simulator is convertible between the legacy configuration and the latest GX Garmin G1000 configuration.  This conversion is accomplished by exchanging panel assemblies and allows customers to train on their specific aircraft configuration.

Frasca’s TruCue is the simulation industry’s first six axis vibration system integrated with a full size motion system.  This allows for very accurate vibration of the cockpit along all axes and isolates the vibration from the instructor’s station, reducing instructor fatigue.    

The simulator is equipped with Frasca’s TruVision visual system with a 200° x 80° field of view and independent stimulation of NVG through infrared projectors.  This wide field of view allows for visual training maneuvers including off airport mission training scenarios.
