DRF Akademie has commissioned a new H145 D3 Level 3 flight training device (FTD) at the Lufthansa Aviation Training (LAT) campus in Frankfurt. The new simulator which was built by Reiser Simulation & Training will ,says DRF, ‘allow H145 operators, Approved Training Organizations (ATOs), and pilots with a state-of-the-art training solution that combines operational relevance, flexibility, and highly realistic training scenarios’.
The simulator is equipped with a state-of-the-art mixed reality system and accurately replicates the Airbus H145 D3 equipped with the latest avionics software, version 10. It provides a robust training environment for procedures, systems knowledge, and normal, abnormal, and emergency procedures, complemented by immersive scenarios designed to enhance decision-making and cockpit teamwork.
The device has been designed to achieve Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC) qualification This will enable dedicated MCC training on the H145 platform a capability that is new for this class of Flight Training Device.
“By investing in and commissioning this new simulator, DRF Akademie reinforces its commitment to providing high-quality training solutions for DRF Luftrettung flight crews as well as external customers – in collaboration with strong partners and with a clear focus on quality, safety, and operational excellence. This is an important investment in the future,” said Florian Rabe, Managing Director of DRF Akademie. “The new system enables us to respond quickly to operational requirements while maintaining the highest training standards for our customers.”
The choice of location for the simulator at the LAT facility stems from the partnership DRF has with LAT as its primary partner for simulator training operations and the new simulator will join DRF existing devices already in Frankfurt, which it says creates a modular training environment. In addition the location benefits from the excellent transport infrastructure and connectivity.
“With the new H145 Flight Training Device, we are once again combining state-of-the-art simulation technology, operational expertise, and the training infrastructure at Lufthansa Aviation Training’s Frankfurt site to deliver a highly capable training solution. Our close collaboration with the DRF Akademie has, for many years, provided the ideal foundation for practical, flexible training at the highest professional standard ,” added Matthias Spohr, CEO of Lufthansa Aviation Training.
