Airbus Helicopters and VRM Switzerland are
co-developing a Virtual Reality training device for the
twin-engine H145 helicopter.
The VR simulator
will offer H145 operators a compact training solution
with realistic flight behaviour and full-body immersion, as well
as the 3D vision and high resolution scenery of VR technology.
“Having already successfully logged thousands of
training hours with our simulators, we want to make this
technology available to H145 operators by developing a VR flight
training device for the five-bladed H145.This will allow H145
crews to prepare for their demanding missions with scenario-based
training performed in a safe and realistic environment,” said Fabi
Riesen, CEO of VRM Switzerland.
Airbus H145
VRM Switzerland and Airbus Helicopters established
their collaboration in 2021 to bring the EASA-qualified H125 VR
training device to the market, enabling pilots to train
realistically and execute complete proficiency checks on the
simulator.
“As we did with the H125 VR simulator, our Airbus
pilots and experts will work hand in hand with VRM’s team,
bringing our OEM experience to this affordable, flexible training
solution that will surely answer our customer’s requirements while
also adhering to our high standards for operational safety. With
this type of simulator, the pilot can enter operational scenarios
that would be very risky to attempt in actual flight but which
bring significant added value to training,” said Christoph Zammert,
Executive Vice President of Customer Support & Services at Airbus
Helicopters.
Containing the OEM data package, the H145 VR
simulator once qualified will allow pilots to perform proficiency
checks and receive training credits.
It will be used to perform
type ratings including normal flight, emergency situations, hoist
operations and flight with night vision goggles, as well as
instrument ratings.
