Training Centre – Norway

The Norway Training Centre houses a new AW101 Full Flight Simulator and other advanced training devices for both pilot and rear crew training.

The AW101 Full Flight Simulator is a CAE Series 3000 device. Located in a new annex to the Thales Flight Training Centre, the simulator is operated and managed by Leonardo Helicopters to deliver its wide range of OEM training courses. The centre also houses a Royal Norwegian Air Force owned AW101 SAR console training device that is linked to the FFS to provide rear crew training.


AW101 FFS CAPABILTIES 

The AW101 FFS features unprecedented realism for helicopter-specific mission training, including search and rescue (SAR), offshore transport, combat SAR and naval operations. The simulator enables pilots to practice challenging procedures, without risk, such as low-level flight, confined area operations, auto-rotations and landing on platforms at sea.

The AW101 FFS combines a Leonardo Helicopters developed flight dynamic model, avionics and aircraft software modelling, with CAE’s core simulation technologies, including: CAE True six degree-of-freedom (DOF) electric motion system and high-performance vibration platform to replicate vibration cues critical to helicopter pilots; a high-fidelity CAE Medallion-6000 visual system; and a direct projection 210 degree by 80 degree extreme field-of-view dome display system. 


The AW101 FFS also includes important mission systems such as SAR autopilot modes, digital map, radar, aircraft mission management computer, multi-purpose control and display units, cockpit display system and flotation system.
