EUROCOPTER has introduced the first Full Flight Simulator (FFS) for the Dauphin AS365 N3/N3+ in Southeast Asia . The simulator was developed and built in partnership with Thales and is operational in Eurocopter South East Asia's (ESEA) training centre facility in Singapore since 1st of April 2012.

Designed to meet operators' current and future expectations, this new simulator features a 6-axis motion system, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) helicopter data package, an advanced reconfigurable cockpit concept and the latest avionics equipment technologies (MFD255 and APM2010). Cockpit reconfiguration for different missions is also possible within less than 4 hours.

The FFS AS 365 N3/N3+ meets both JAR FSTD dual qualifications of FFS Level B and FTD Level 3 and FAR Part 60 Level 6 standards. It allows operators to perform training from ab initio to advanced mission training through type rating and recurrent courses covering, emergency procedures, instrument flight , offshore and search and rescue (SAR) operations, night flight (compatible night vision goggles), flights over mountainous regions and low altitude navigation.

The simulator is located at EUROCOPTER SOUTH EAST ASIA Training Centre in SELETAR Aerospace Park. Established in 2007, ESEA Training centre operates already an EC120 flight training device (FTD) used for military and civilian operator training. With the multi-role configuration AS 365 N3/N3+ FFS, ESEA will increase EUROCOPTER training solutions for operators in Asia Pacific.
