EC175 FFS Ready for Service

HELICOPTER

The first Level D full flight simulator for Airbus Helicopters' EC175 rotorcraft has received airworthiness certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), enabling launch pilots to be trained with this high-fidelity system. Located at the Helisim Training Academy adjacent to Airbus Helicopters' headquarters and production facility at Marignane, France, the motion-based EC175 full flight simulator incorporates a state-of-the-art projection system with a 210-deg. by 80-deg. continuous field of view. The simulator was built by Indra in close cooperation with Airbus Helicopters in its role as the EC175 manufacturer, and is equipped with the same data pack, avionics suite and automatic flight control system as the actual EC175 rotorcraft.
