CAE’s H225 FFS ready for training
CAE’s H225 full-flight simulator (FFS) located at its Olso, Norway, training centre has been qualified to Level D by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and is ready for training, the company announced on 5 October.
Level D is the highest qualification for flight simulators by EASA. The H225 training programme provides initial and recurrent training, and mission specific training for SAR, offshore oil and gas, and military operating profiles.
The CAE 3000 Series full-flight simulator uses Airbus Helicopters' original data package and has the CAE Tropos 6000 visual system, providing enhanced level of realism for pilot mission training. The CAE Oslo training centre is set to become an Airbus Helicopters approved simulation centre later in 2015.
Nick Leontidis, group president, civil aviation training solutions, CAE, said: ‘We are proud to partner with Airbus Helicopters to bring the first high-fidelity H225 training solution to the Scandinavian market. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Airbus Helicopters as we grow additional programmes to meet the training needs of Airbus Helicopters' customers worldwide.’
Matthieu Louvot, senior vice president, support and services, Airbus Helicopters, said: ‘This new simulator reaffirms Airbus Helicopters' efforts towards enhancing flight safety in the particularly harsh environment encountered in the North Sea. The H225 programme leverages the safest and most innovative technologies, and is close to our customers' bases of operation.’
