Delivering High-Level Realism To Japanese Rotorcraft Training

Tru Simulation, an affiliate of Bell Textron, announced the SUBARU Bell 412EPX Flight Training Device received Level 5 qualification approval from the Japanese Civil Aviation Bureau to mark an important milestone in furthering rotorcraft training in Japan.

The FTD was developed together with Bell and supports SUBARU’s mission in civil aviation by enabling pilots to train for a range of operations from routine transport to complex SAR, or search and rescue missions.

Jerry Messaris, Vice President and General Manager for TRU Simulation said, “SUBARU pilots flying some of Japan’s most critical missions now have access to immersive, high-fidelity training that builds confidence and readiness for any scenario. This qualification underscores our commitment to supporting training operations with solutions that meet the highest global standards.”

This unit is the second TRU FTD delivered to SUBARU, an indication of continuing efforts to ensure their training programs have advanced simulation tools. They are designed to replicate real-world flight conditions as well as emergency scenarios, and its immersive experience ensures crews are technically proficient and adaptable in high-stakes environments.

The aerodynamics model, engine, controls, and sounds model of the SUBARU Bell 412EPX flight training device are designed for the highest possible fidelity to give pilots a realistic training experience.

The FTD simulates ground start and run-up procedures, ground emergencies, normal flight, and in-flight emergencies. Pilots can also train under both visual and instrument flight rules environments. The custom visual system database can provide full immersion for SAR training as well.
