Indra’s H175 Simulator to Train Hong Kong’s Rescue Pilots

Hong Kong’s Air Rescue Service provided through the Government Flying Service (GFS) and its Government Logistics Department (GLD) have chosen Indra to be its Flight and Mission H175 Helicopter Simulator supplier through an open tender. Indra’s H175 helicopter simulator will reinforce the GFS pilots’ training and will prepare them to take part in search, rescue and surveillance missions.

The H175 is a medium utility transport helicopter with a crew of two pilots and capacity for 18 passengers. It features the latest technology and requires diligent training for its effective use. The simulation system has been specially developed to provide high fidelity in mission training. The pilot trains in a virtual world, which replicates real life scenarios and missions.

The pilots can define the most effective strategies to follow and drill until they perfect them. They can train for a variety of missions including evacuation on offshore platforms, water landings, mountain search and rescue operations, wildfire suppression missions, or evacuation operations after natural disasters.

“We are able to get the pilots to train as if they were performing a real operation”, explains Luis F. García BD Director at Indra Training Solutions & Services.
