Simulator works its magic on R22, R44
Merlin Simulation (Booth No.

Merlin Simulation (Booth No. 3606) is here touting its approval of the only Robinson R22 VFR/IFR flight-training device built in accordance with FAA national simulator program (NSP) criteria. The FAA awarded level-3 certification to the non-motion simulator in August 2006.

According to Merlin president Ken Zimmerman, the device is the only simulator that accurately replicates the “unique and challenging” flight characteristics of the Robinson R22. The company used R22 flight test data to validate the performance of the simulator. The Boulder, Colo. company also made slight variations to the simulator to mimic the performance of the R44.
