Axis Flight Simulation flight training device
Axis Flight Simulation said it expects to be delivering its first helicopter training devices in less than two years.

Axis Flight Simulation is expanding its product portfolio with plans to introduce a full-flight simulator and flight simulation training devices (FSTDs) for helicopters. The Austrian company announced the diversification today at the Asia Pacific Aviation Training Summit in Bangkok, but has not yet specified which rotorcraft types it will support.

The new equipment will include a pair of FTDs meeting EASA and FAA requirements, and with full-scale, aircraft-specific cockpits with a high-resolution projection system. Operators will be able to switch between instrument and visual flight conditions during approaches.
