Russian simulator and avionics specialist Transas is expanding its flight-training portfolio for both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. The company is also engaged in an ongoing program to equip Russian aircraft with the terrain avoidance and warning systems (TAWS) that they need to fly on international routes.
One recent initiative has been to establish a helicopter pilot training center near Moscow for Russian energy giant Gazprom. The facility features five full-flight simulators and is claimed to be the largest rotorcraft flight training center in Europe. Transas, which has ambitions to provide simulators for foreign aircraft, also has established a two-simulator facility in Tyumen for Russian operator UTair.
