More Helicopter Sims Coming Online at FlightSafety International

Two new full-motion helicopter simulators will soon be coming online at two FlightSafety International learning centers. An Airbus Helicopters EC135 simulator is expected to be up and running at FSI’s Dallas facility, followed by a Sikorsky S-92 level-D device at the company’s São Paulo center in the third quarter.

The EC135 simulator is equipped with a Garmin avionics suite that includes the GMX 200 multifunction display and Waas-certified GNS 430W and GNS 530W. It also features the SFIM two-axis autopilot. FlightSafety’s initial and recurrent training programs for the Airbus EC135 include aircraft systems, emergency and abnormal procedures, human factors and specialty training.
