Program Highlights

• Our Level D simulators allow night-vision goggle training for high-fidelity, low-light training scenarios.
• Using our high-fidelity graphics package, the simulators feature special visual scenes and effects to give operators the most relevant training available.
• Simulation training can incorporate photo-realistic scenes such as urban landscapes, offshore oil rigs, and brownout and whiteout conditions.
• FlightSafety helped pioneer Federal Aviation Administration Level D full flight simulation for helicopters.
• These are the world’s first Level D qualified full flight simulators for AS350 B3 and EC130 T2, bringing simulation training – an essential component of pilot training in every other segment of aviation – to AS350 B3 and EC130 T2 operators.
• Mission-specific training tailors scenarios to your particular operation, including parapublic and air medical as well as offshore and executive transport.
• Our full flight simulators meet a wide range of training objectives that can’t be met in flight training devices and exceed the training parameters possible in aircraft-based instruction.
• National Transportation Safety Board guidance for airborne law enforcement specifically recommends integrating simulation-based training, especially to train for Inadvertent IMC events. FlightSafety’s training stresses the singular importance of IIMC avoidance and survival training – instruction that can only be effectively taught in a simulator.
• FlightSafety training courses for AS350 B3 and EC130 T2:
  – Initial and recurrent pilot
  – Night Vision Goggle
  – Inadvertent IMC survival and avoidance
  – Patrol and surveillance mission profiles
  – Pilot and Tactical Flight Officer (TFO) crew training
  – Mission-specific training tailors scenarios to your particular operation, including parapublic and air medical as well as offshore and executive transport.
