The helicopter FTD is suitable for:
• Systems management
• Recurrent Training
• Instrument rating revalidation and renewal
• Recency
• CRM Training
• LOFT (Route and area familiarisation)
• Multi-
• Type training testing and checking (level 3 & FS B only)
The potential also exists to dual qualify the device as FTD 3 and FS B. The helicopter
FTD is a type representative device designed to provide the broadest range of training
capability.The FTD can be supplied as a fixed base device or with motion whilst the
FS B is supplied with a level B compliant 6 DoF electric motion platform. All devices
as standard have high resolution visual systems 60HZ image generation with a field
of view (FoV) 60 deg vertical (+20 -
cueSim's modular approach to simulator construction and to the software driving the simulator means the maximum possible allowance has been made for reconfigurability and commonality of hardware and software between the various systems making up the helicopter FTD environment.
The helicopter FTD is constructed in a way that allows the cockpit to be easily removed and alternative cockpits to be installed. This creates the possibility of multiple type representative cockpits to be used within a single simulator infrastructure thereby greatly reducing costs.
The cueSim helicopter FTD and FS B has been specifically designed to meet JAR-
