The Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant (part of Rostec's "Vertolety Rossii") will be able to conduct initial and recurrent training for any aviation specialists on Mi-171A3 rotorcraft. Permission was granted to the enterprise's Aviation Training Center (ATC) by the Federal Air Transport Agency.
Pilots are trained, among other things, on a full-flight motion simulator that imitates a helicopter inside a spherical capsule, noted Vertolety Rossii CEO Nikolai Kolesov.
The simulator is mounted on a dynamic vibration platform and equipped with a modern visualization system that renders the outside-cockpit environment as realistically as possible.
Kolesov added that modern simulator systems make it possible to drill all kinds of abnormal situations to the point of automatism, situations that cannot be modeled during training on a real aircraft.
Today, the ATC features simulator systems for the Mi-8AMT/171, Mi-171A2, and Mi-171A3 helicopters.
