Mountainflyers Ltd. of Bern, Switzerland, had added an Airbus H125 VR training device produced by VRM Switzerland to their simulator center located directly on their own base at Bern Airport. The Robinson R22 FNPT ll and the Airbus H125 VR FTD3 enable the flight school to offer unique training and check concepts to their students and licensed pilots.

First Training Center ever with a R22 and H125 VR training device

Mountainflyers is the world‘s first approved training organization which provides flight training on qualified virtual reality training devices. “We are particularly pleased with the recent qualification of the H125 simulator. Thanks to the ability to perform License and Operator Proficiency Checks on the simulator, pilots can now train specific scenarios. This will significantly reduce costs for operators and further improve aviation safety,“ said Christoph Graf, CEO and owner of Mountainflyers Ltd.

Airbus Helicopters approved training device

“Airbus Helicopters and VRM Switzerland fine-tuned the H125 simulator to reach the highest level of immersion. Hence, pilots can profit from a realistic reproduction of the right helicopter. So, they train normal and emergency procedures on the simulator to apply them without any adoption in reality. The other way around experienced pilots show on the device the same performance as in real life. This because of a representative flight behavior, a 3D VR visual system and a sophisticated motion cueing. With the representation of the body and the full replica cockpit the pilot manipulates completely intuitive. A common tablet enables to work through checklists and to read charts,“ explained Fabi Riesen, CEO of VRM Switzerland.

Beneficial offers for pilots at any experience level

Mountainflyers developed several courses to enhance pilot competencies. The module “train untrained emergency situations” enables pilots to experience and train emergencies they cannot train on the real helicopter. Avoiding and handling Inadvertent Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IIMC) trains pilots in decision making and facing difficult weather situations. Basic students can learn maneuvers more efficiently on the simulator to apply them later in the real helicopter. “As this training method is more efficient, our students not only fly more safely but also save money and time,” Graf said.
