Sikorsky S-92 Training Program Highlights FlightSafety pioneered FAA Level D full flight simulation for helicopters. The VITAL X visual system creates realistic displays that offer a 220x60-degree vertical field of view and an endless selection of weather conditions and locations. Combined with audio, the experience gives the pilot realistic physical sensations that warrant Level D certification from the FAA. S-92 operators soon will have the option of training on a new, cutting-edge full flight simulator in a brand new location Stavanger, Norway. The Sikorsky-approved S-92 Level D full flight simulator is expected to arrive in Stavanger during 2013 with next-generation rigid mirror and electric motion systems. The all-new simulator will be the centerpiece for training at the first FlightSafety Learning Center in Norway. The S-92 is particularly well suited to offshore missions, and the North Sea oil and gas industry will welcome the new training option. In addition, mission-specific training will be available for all types of S-92 missions. In early 2014, FlightSafety helicopter training makes its debut in Brazil with a Level D Sikorsky S-92 full flight simulator. The simulator will incorporate next-generation technologies and will feature 60-inch electric motion and control loading. Building on our presence in the emerging aviation markets of Southeast Asia, FlightSafety will provide training for the Sikorsky S-92 beginning in late 2014 at a location to be determined.
