We provide mission-readiness.
Thales and LifeFlight have collaborated to provide an accessible, cost-effective option for AW139 Flight Simulation training, allowing customers to maintain sustainable and safe helicopter operations.
Located within the LifeFlight Training Academy at Brisbane International Airport, Australia, the Thales LifeFlight Simulation Centre is setting the safety standard in innovative, high-performance AW139 aircrew training.
The dedicated facility features the first Thales built Reality H AW139 Level D Full Flight Simulator and sets the safety and training standard in innovative AW139 aircrew training. Specifically designed for oil and gas, search and rescue, emergency services helicopter operators, the Reality H AW139 Level D Full Flight Simulator provides outstanding realism for mission training.
Thales developed our own patented technology and created the Hexaline motion system. This creates higher response rates to pilot control inputs, smoother movements, accurate feel and fidelity.
Separate vibration platform has 3 degrees of freedom in all directions, this in combination with the Hexaline motion system creative nuances in feel like no other simulator on the market. Control flutter and vibration sensation is as close to the real AW 139.
Compliant to Level D European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) regulation requirements.
FLIGHT MODELLING
Real world data that’s fresh. The only simulator to have a flight model that’s based on the latest AW 139 airframe, which includes the phase 7 avionics upgrade capability.
The only simulator to have Data collection for flight model based on real world operations in partnership with LifeFlight.
The simulator is fitted with 4 axis enhanced Flight Director with Search and Rescue Modes (SAR), weather radar, TCAS II, EGPWS, direction finder, rescue hoist and cargo hook.
