DynaLantic Corp Completes Philippine Air Force Cobra Sim Training

The DynaLantic Corp. (DLC), DynaFlight Training Center (DTC) and CATI Training Systems, a subsidiary of DLC, in conjunction with Philippine based Aviation Enterprises Inc. (AEI) completed Cobra AH-1F and Huey II Flight Simulator Training for Philippine Air Force (PAF) rotary wing pilots.

The Cobra AH-1F training focused on Normal and Emergency Procedures to enhance and sharpen the skill set of the PAF “Cobra” instructor pilots and active pilots with a syllabus covering academics, standard and advanced techniques, catastrophic malfunctions, and NVG flight. The Huey II training consisted of a compressed session to work on performance power planning, limitations, and catastrophic malfunctions. Both programs were a first-time simulator experience on these two platforms for PAF squadrons.

The DynaLantic Cobra Flight Simulator is the only US Army 2B33 flight training device operating worldwide. It was relocated in 2007 to Ozark, Alabama, after it was decommissioned by the Fort Indiantown Gap Army National Guard. Several enhancements have been completed by DLC over the years. These enhancements allow for continuous operation of the device with modern Commercial-off-the- Shelf (COTS) computer hardware to facilitate maintenance and improve reliability. This provides a cost-effective training solution for the few foreign nations that still maintain the “Cobra” helicopter in operation.

The DynaLantic Huey II Flight Simulator has a cockpit configuration in accordance with the Bell Huey II Technical Manual (PUB-92- 004-10) and incorporates a blade element rotor model and the T53-L- 703 Huey II power plant simulation. The aerodynamics, rotor, and propulsion math models execute at 120 Hz., providing an accurate Huey II engine, rotor, and flight model.
