BEHIND THE SCREENS a close LOOK
SUPPLEMENTING EVERY STUDENT NAVAL AVIATOR’S TIME IN THE AIR IS A COMPREHENSIVE GROUND- BASED TRAINING SYSTEM THAT FULLY PREPARES NAVY PILOTS FOR THE RIGORS OF TRAINING AND REAL-WORLD HELICOPTER MISSIONS. BEFORE A STUDENT PILOT TAKES THE CONTROLS, HE OR SHE HAS COMPLETED REALISTIC COMPUTER AND SYNTHETIC TRAINING, AND WILL CONTINUE THIS TYPE OF TRAINING THROUGH THE LIFE OF THEIR FLYING CAREER.
AgustaWestland off ers the US Navy the same expansive range of ground-based training solutions that commercial and military customers are taking advantage of around the world.
The AgustaWestland Training Academy works on three continents (Europe, North America, and Asia) and trains more than 7,000 students, pilots, and technicians from over 70 diff erent countries each year. Its courses stand out, thanks to the exclusive use of state-of-the-art technology and innovative fl ight simulators.
COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT) CURRICULUM AND MULTIMEDIA LEARNING
The CBT system combines advanced visual aids with interactive learning media to deliver individual student training. Most systems have individual desktop personal computer-based workstations with one or two display screens. A networked classroom can be created by linking a set of workstations via a server to an instructor’s console.
A tablet and a USB stick containing all reference material are distributed to students in order to save notes and to facilitate access to electronic documents, texts, and books.
VIRTUAL INTERACTIVE PROCEDURAL TRAINER (VIPT)
The VIPT is a state-of-the-art reconfi gurable and deployable cockpit trainer. The device employs advanced graphical visualization techniques to simulate the helicopter cockpit in a virtual environment, where fl ight deck controls,
equipment, systems, and components are faithfully reproduced using graphics and touch-screen technology.
FLIGHT TRAINING DEVICE (FTD)
The FTD is a fi xed-base cost-eff ective helicopter training system with the highest level of fi delity achievable from this type of device. The simulation is fully representative of the helicopter’s behavior and the fi delity of the represented cockpit is the best for this class of device. This increases the level of realism of the training experience, and also the level of profi ciency that is achievable by the trainees.
FULL FLIGHT SIMULATOR (FFS)
This new generation of fl ight simulators delivers suffi cient realism that one hour of training in the simulator is equivalent to one hour of fl ight training in the actual aircraft. This helps ensure naval aviators are fully prepared before they are responsible for control of the aircraft, and meets their recurrent training requirements.
