CAE [CAE] recently announced the company is launching a family of new, affordable helicopter mission simulators for the previously underserved civil helicopter market.
The first CAE 3000 Series simulator will be available for training by the summer of 2010.
“The new CAE simulation capability offers unprecedented realism for helicopter-specific mission training, including offshore, emergency medical services, law enforcement, long line, high-altitude, corporate, and other operations,” said Jeff Roberts, CAE’s group president, Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services.
The CAE 3000 Series is designed to address emerging global standards for helicopter flight simulation training devices (FSTD) in development by an international working group sponsored by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The new CAE helicopter mission simulators will meet or exceed current regulatory requirements, including U.S. FAA and European Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) Level D or other levels according to customer training needs.
CAE is the first to incorporate artificially intelligent human form and moving vehicle dynamic simulation for civil helicopter training tasks and mission scenarios.
