FlightSafety International (Booth No. 1227) is offering a variety of level-7-approved flight-training device solutions for operators of small turbine helicopters. According to the company, these devices provide virtually all the training benefits of a full-motion simulator, include a vibrating base, and are a cost-effective alternative for in-aircraft training.
FlightSafety offers two basic types of training in the level-7 FTDs: type-specific training and mission-specific or scenario-based training, during which an operator’s unique missions are simulated. These include EMS, off-shore, electronic news gathering, law enforcement and paramilitary operations. The company also touts level-7’s value for training for inadvertent encounter with instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), instrument refresher training and night vision goggle instruction. The FTDs are fully NVG-compatible and offer Part 135 operators the opportunity to meet initial and recurrent training and checks with minimal in-aircraft time.
