TRU Full Flight Simulator Delivered To Queensland’s Medical Service

Royal Flying Doctor Service Receives Level D Certification

Textron affiliate TRU Simulation + Training announced that Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has approved Level D certification of the Full Flight Simulator (FFS) to the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS Queensland Section).

The RFDS Queensland Section has a large Beechcraft King Air fleet and the simulator is reconfigurable to support training for the entire fleet of its B200 and B300 aircraft. The simulator is the first of its kind in Australia and is housed in Bundaberg in a purpose-built facility next to the RFDS base.

The fleet of King Airs is utilized for aeromedical transports as well as providing healthcare services to regional, rural, and remote areas of Queensland. The simulator will be used for training pilots and crew to assist in the healthcare mission.

Jerry Messaris, VP and General Manager of TRU Simulation said, “The Royal Flying Doctor Service is a highly respected organization in Australia that requires their pilots to be prepared to execute a variety of life-saving services. At TRU, we are committed to ensuring pilots have a world-class training device so they are ready for any challenge they may encounter. We are honored RFDS selected a TRU simulator for their crucial operations.”

The simulator is equipped with the Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics and incorporates TUR’s REALFeel control loading system which produces a highly realistic flight experience. It creates an immersive training environment using a visual system with high-definition projectors on a 200x40 degree display. All four King Air variants available use the TRU designed and developed aircraft systems and aerodynamics software.
