The AW189 FFS was developed jointly by
AgustaWestland and CAE, and will be operated by
Rotorsim. The CAE 3000 Series helicopter mission
simulator features unprecedented realism for
helicopter specific mission training, including
offshore Oil and Gas Producer (OGP), Search and
Rescue (SAR), law enforcement and other types of
operations.
The simulator enables pilots to practice without
risk challenging procedures such as low-level
flight, confined area operations, autorotation
and landing on platforms at sea. The AW189 FFS
being introduced by Rotorsim will support
AgustaWestland in delivering operational
training to its rapidly expanding number of
AW189 operators. At present, the AW189 has been
ordered in more than 130 units, including
options and framework agreements.
The CAE 3000 Series AW189 FFS features
AgustaWestland flight dynamics and aircraft
systems modelling, combined with the
AgustaWestland avionics and sensors simulation
software. The core CAE simulation technologies
include: 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 image generator; and a direct
projection 210 degree by 80 degree extreme
field-of-view dome display system.
