New Simulator to Anchor European Heli Center

REISER will deliver an H135/H145 Level D full-flight simulator to the brand new European Heli Center (EHC) based at Lelystad Airport, near Amsterdam.

The companies believe this milestone represents a substantial advancement in helicopter pilot and crew training, considerably enhancing helicopter training capabilities in Central Europe.

EHC is establishing a new helicopter training center in Lelystad, featuring REISER's H135/H145 Level D full-flight simulator. The next-generation training device replicates the latest aircraft standards. Its versatile roll-on/roll-off mothership allows seamless training of both H135 and H145 helicopter types in one simulator. Training is scheduled to start by the end of 2026.

The new training center will serve as EHC's headquarters, offering comprehensive pilot and crew training programs for civilian, commercial, military, offshore, and emergency medical services (EMS) sectors. The facility will provide advanced training solutions, including mission-specific courses designed to improve operational safety and efficiency.

As part of its expansion, EHC has partnered with Bristow Nigeria, a division of the Bristow Group, to provide pilot training solutions for the H135 helicopter. Under this collaboration, Bristow will be one of the main customers utilizing the H135 full-flight simulator at the new training center.
