Training in the simulator

Training in our simulator means training in a true-to-life and fully functional copy of the Airbus EC135 P2+. The cockpit has room for two pilots who can train simultaneously. Meanwhile, the instructor and an observer can take place in the instructor station behind the cockpit. The instructor station contains a control pannel that allows the instructor to set flight parameters, specify weather, simulate emergencies, and more.

The instructor also has the possibility to tweak the simulation whilst sitting in the cockpit with a complimentary tablet, which contains all the same functionalities as the instructor station.

A real-life experience

With the help of 6 high resolution projectors, the pilot is surrounded in an immersive experience projected on a 200o conical screen. Because the images are very close to real life the quality of training is, if not better, just as good on the actual helicopter.

The extremely realistic flight model takes this simulator to an unprecedented quality level. This means that, on top of using this simulator for training purposes, you can carry out EASA prof-checks and skills tests.

Mission training

Want to train landing on an oil platform or on top a hospital? It is possible in our simulator! The simulator can simulate various helicopter missions, including hoisting, (oil) platform landings, HEMS training, and more. The extensive visual database contains all airports in the Netherlands in high detail plus various special places to conduct mission-oriented training. Special wishes? Let us know! In collaboration with the simulator manufacturer, we are able to adapt the simulator to your training needs.

The Debriefing Station

In simulated emergency situations, it is often hard for the flight crew to get a sense of their reactions. Here is where the debriefing station serves as a perfect tool to review the simulator session in a casual environment. The simulator is equipped with a high-definition camera that monitors all the actions of the pilots, while at the same time registers all parameters of the helicopter simulator during flight. The videos including flight data can be reviewed after the simulator session in a classroom setting or can be sent as a file to review the training at your home base.
