The first AW169 flight simulator certified

by · July 25

The first Level D full flight simulator for the AgustaWestland AW169 obtained ENAC (Ente Nazionale Aviazione Civile – Italian Civil Aviation Authority) and EASA certification in June 2016.

Based at the Leonardo Training Academy in Sesto Calende, Italy, the new simulator will be used to deliver advance pilot training course for world customers. Level D standard allows 1 hour flown on the simulator to be equal to 1 hour flown on the real helicopter for maximized safety and reduced operating cost.

The certification of the first Full Flight Simulator for the AW169 completes the comprehensive range of training solutions offer for the type.
