IMPROVED EFFECTIVENESS
OF ““
TRAINING: When training is done in- aircraft, the trainee and the instructor must imagine certain conditions exist. In the simulator, abnormal and emergency events happen just as they would in the actual aircraft. No need to pretend. No need to substitute imagination for reality. Procedures can be practiced repeatedly without delays from air traffic, weather conditions or ATC. The trainee and instructor can focus on the task at hand without distraction. Training in a simulator is far more comprehensive and thorough than it could ever be in the actual aircraft.
We all learn best from firsthand experience, and simulators allow for realistic exposure to challenging situations which may occur in flight operations. While in-aircraft training meets regulatory requirements, for safety reasons it does not allow pilots to experience the full spectrum of potential scenarios, and therefore limits the pilot’s preparedness. Practicing critical failure events in realistic conditions in a simulator prepares pilots to manage real-world anomalies and malfunctions with precision and confidence.”

REDUCED TRAINING COSTS: When all costs are considered, simulation-based training is the far better value. Direct operating costs, additional maintenance requirements, unnecessary risk exposure, and time lost to air traffic or weather considerations all inflate the true cost of in-aircraft training. Well-trained crews merit lower insurance rates. In some cases, insurance companies may not insure low-time pilots, unless they train in simulators with a professional training organization. One accident/incident in the aircraft can easily cost much more than an entire year’s worth of simulation-based training.
Simulation training is cost effective, especially for medium- to-heavy helicopters. There is no risk of damaging your helicopter during training, and your aircraft will remain operational and generating revenue.” - Jean-Charles de Troy, managing director, Helisim LLC
