Maximize Your Helicopter Training
Training is foundational to every flight. Incorporating simulators or flight training devices (FTD) into your training regimen can remove the potential risks of in-aircraft training plus bring added effectiveness and lowered costs.
Safer, Smarter Environment
Compared with simulator training, in-aircraft training entails substantial drawbacks such as liability issues, avoidable wear and tear on the aircraft, and the inability to practice various types of critical emergencies.
Properly practicing a scenario in a simulator rather than imagining one in the aircraft could mean the life-saving difference during an actual crisis when the safety of those onboard comes down to split-second decisions. Simulators offer a safe platform for practical and comprehensive training, from performing the very basics to rehearsing the rare and unexpected.
Using state-of-the-art technology, normal and abnormal procedures can be simulated using a wide variety of aircraft, weather and environmental conditions without risk. Adverse and emergency events happen just as they would in the actual aircraft, presenting valuable practice opportunities.

FlightSafety International’s name and reputation in aviation training has been built over seven decades. But the truest test of that value comes when pilots are facing split-second decisions, and their training takes over.
In one pilot’s case, FlightSafety training and how it prepared him for anything, are the reasons he believed he and his crew survived a dangerous situation.
Sgt. David Sizemore had seen a lot in his more than 13,000 flight hours. But during a December 2020 flight in his Ohio State Highway Patrol helicopter, he faced the biggest challenge as a pilot.

All over the world, helicopter flight training is at the heart of every facet of helicopter operations. Whether training a new hire, or providing recurrent training to seasoned pilots, the quality and quantity of training can have an impact on areas like accident rates, safety in operations, and direct operating costs.
As is in most industries, technology is advancing rapidly and making simulation training more realistic and cost effective. It used to be that only larger helicopters like the Sikorsky S76, Bell 412, or Airbus Super Puma would have simulators available for clients to train in. Now even light twins such as Airbus H135 and single engine helicopters such as Bell 505, Airbus H125 and Robinson R44 have simulators available for training.
