Benefits of Simulator Training
- Cost effective to incorporate Simulator Training in your training courses
- Handling performance is in line with the specific aircraft type
- Simulators offer an up to date navigation database and high-resolution graphics for major airports
- A wide range of weather phenomena and a range of system and mechanical failures can be simulated during training
Our Simulators
Helicopter
We offer training on our Elite S723T FNPT II MCC simulator, based on the Airbus AS-355 Twin Engine Helicopter. The simulator offers, Colour Weather Radar, Radio Altimeter, Garmin 430 GPS and auto-pilot. It offers a level of realism comparable to more expensive simulator types and is fully EASA/SACAA compliant.
