Reiser Simulation and Training has obtained its first level-D certification for an Airbus Helicopters H145D3 full-flight simulator (FFS). The simulator incorporates D3 features such as Helionix version 8.0 avionics and the helicopter’s five-blade rotor system.
The certification was obtained on February 15 from the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority at Norwegian Competence Centre Helicopter in Stavanger. A flight-test campaign using an actual H145D3 captured flight data for the certification program. According to Reiser, “As a result, the new level-D FFS is not merely 98 percent true to reality but an unparalleled 100 percent true to the real Airbus H145D3 aircraft.”
“We are delighted to provide the aviation community with a simulator that truly reflects the capabilities and advancements of the Airbus H145D3,” said Michael Mayrhofer, CEO at Norwegian Competence Centre Helicopter, “ultimately enhancing the safety and proficiency of helicopter pilots and crewmembers worldwide.”
