A Shared Vision for Advanced Helicopter Training
The Level D full-flight simulator, featuring Reiser’s proven roll-on/roll-off platform, will allow training on both H135 and H145 aircraft models within one device. This flexibility ensures maximum training efficiency and a future-ready solution for EHC’s expanding operations.
“We truly enjoyed hosting EHC at our home base in Berg,” said Dr. Thomas Nicolay, CSO of Reiser Simulation and Training. “The collaborative
spirit and
shared purpose set the tone for what we believe will be a highly successful partnership.”
“This project represents a major leap forward in our mission to provide world-class helicopter training,” added Jeroen Peddemors, CEO of European Heli Center. “Together with Reiser, we are
shaping a future-ready training
environment designed to serve not only European operators but pilots and crews around the globe.”
Conveniently located near Amsterdam International Airport — a major hub with multiple direct flight connections worldwide — the state-of-the-art training facility is easily accessible for operators and crews from across the globe. From pilot training planning to logistical and travel coordination, EHC is committed to providing a comprehensive and accessible solution for every operator, large or small. Great training starts with great preparation at European Heli Center.
A Global Invitation to Operators and Training Partners
With this project officially underway, European Heli Center warmly welcomes helicopter operators and
pilots from
around the world to begin early planning for their future training needs. As the simulator and training center take shape, the team is
fully available to
support prospective clients in developing customized training roadmaps to ensure seamless onboarding once operations begin.
