Bell 206 Helicopter Simulator launched by Precision Flight Controls at I/ITSEC 2016 Event
Orlando, FL (November 28, 2016) – Precision Flight Controls, based in Rancho Cordova, California, in partnership with Ryan Aerospace of Southport, Australia, formally introduced their helicopter advanced aviation training device (AATD) at the recent 50th annual I/ITSEC Training and Simulation event held in Orlando, Florida. The conference is the world’s largest training and simulation event of its kind.
About the HeliMax System
The HeliMax simulation system is based on the Bell 206 JetRanger and sports a full avionics suite including a fully functional G530 WAAS GPS with a second NAV/COM radio, ADF and transponder. The main instrument panel, overhead and center consoles feature full fidelity for normal and emergency operations. The external visual system consists of (6) 4K 70-inch HD LED monitors which showcase a Quantum3D® image generator. It also includes an Instructor’s Operating Station (IOS) which allows for a multitude of weather scenarios and equipment failures. Its modular design provides the ability to change the instrument panel to a Bell 407 configuration with glass panel displays. The simulator is positioned on a 3-DOF D-Box® motion platform which provides for additional realism and a refined level of motion cueing. The simulator is pending FAA AATD approval and is expected to qualify as aLevel 7 FTD in mid-2017.
