Inzpire to continue Wildcat simulator work
Inzpire will continue its work on the Wildcat helicopter simulators that are currently used by the British Army, Royal Marines and Royal Navy aircrew, the company announced on 23 November.
The company will continue rigorous testing procedures to make sure performance and systems of the simulator replicate that of the real aircraft as closely as possible. This ensures that crew members can train in simulators with a cockpit environment as close as technology will allow to the real platform.
Jonny Priest, head of Inzpire’s Helicopter Services division, said: ‘The assurance testing of the Wildcat simulators ensures that they are the most realistic devices in use by UK military aircrew and will mean that Wildcat crew are fully prepared in the use of highly complex systems’.
Inzpire’s Helicopter Services division has been delivering validation work on the Wildcat simulator since 2012.
