Sim Will Provide Training For Military Helo Pilots
Helisim inaugurated its first NH90 flight simulator at the training
center in Marignane (South of France) Wednesday, where it will be
used to train military helicopter pilots. Helisim is a company
jointly created by Eurocopter, Thales and DCI. The Australian Army
Aviation, the French Navy and the French Army Air Corps (ALAT) will
be the first customers to send their pilots to the Helisim facility
for NH90 training.
"The inauguration of our new simulator for the NH90 is an
extremely important step for Helisim," said Guy Dabadie, the
company's CEO. "We can now offer all NH90 customers a more complete
service. Since it was first created, Helisim has always been firmly
committed to providing its customers with the highest quality
training, as we are keenly aware of how crucial it is to flight
safety."
Helisim's NH90 Full Flight simulator (manufactured by Thales),
is equipped with the very latest generation database,of visual
images, capable of simulating all types of environments (be it
desert, mountainous or maritime), weather conditions, special
effects and battlefield threats via the use of “computer
generated forces” (CGF).
Realism was a key objective in the design process, enabling the
simulator to produce special effects of unrivaled quality for
training sequences. Satellite images with resolution down to 12.5
cm in urban areas were included in the database to achieve the
desired effects.
The NH90 cabin is also fully compatible with the use of
third-generation night vision goggles, or with special helmets
fitted with head-up displays (HUD) that are projected directly onto
the visor, essential for night flight training.
