customer base includes Petrobras, Shell, Chevron, StatOilHydro, British Gas, Repsol and Anadarko. Bristow Group, a leading provider of helicopter services in Europe, Africa, Australia, and the Americas, has a minority equity participation in Lider. "Lider and CAE share a common vision for the highest standards of safety, quality and customer service," said Jeff Roberts, CAE Group President, Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services. "Lider's longtime leadership in the South American helicopter market and CAE's extensive civil and military helicopter training expertise will provide operators with the most advanced training technology and expert instruc- tion available in an easily acces- sible location close to their home bases."
The S-76 FFS will be ready for training in early 2012. It is planned to be installed at CAE's training centre in Sao Paulo, Brazil, which serves South American airline cus- tomers and was recently expanded to 10 simulator bays. The FFS will provide training
for all S76 variants, including S76A, S76B, S76C+ and S76C++.
The CAE 3000 Series heli- copter mission simulator, which was launched in February 2010 at the Helicopter Association International (HAI) Heli-Expo annual con- vention, features unprecedent- ed realism for helicopter-spe- cific mission training, includ- ing offshore, helicopter med- ical transport, law enforce- ment, high-altitude, corporate, and other operations. The sim- ulator enables pilots to practice challenging procedures without risk such as low-level flight, confined area operations, autorotation and landing on platforms and ships at sea. The S-76 FFS for Brazil will be the first CAE 3000 Series full-flight simulator fielded with a CAE True Electric Motion six-degree-of-freedom motion platform, and will be qualified for initial and recur- rent credits. List price for a CAE 3000 Series Level D full- flight simulator depends on the helicopter configuration and specific features and ranges from C$10 million to C$14 million. ◆
