► CAE has been a key player in development of the helicopter standards FAA AC-120-63 JAA JAR STND 1H, 2H, 3H RAeS IWG – harmonisation between

FAA & JAA


Accident Causes

“What is the cause of most aviation accidents: Usually it is because someone does too much too soon, followed very quickly by too little too late”.

Steve Wilson, NTSB investigator, Oshkosh, WI , August, 1996.


Risks to flight safety

The Flight Environment

► Aircraft emergencies

► Weather, geography, other aircraft

► Inexperience

► High stress

► Mission capability

► Crew attitude and morale


Why is training so important to Flight Safety?

Good training provides:

► Aircraft system knowledge (aircraft emergencies)

► Situational awareness (environment-weather, geography)

► Improved standards (inexperience)

► Effective CRM-Crew Resource Management (high-stress environment)

► Enhanced performance (mission capability)

► Confidence from population/customer (attitude and morale)

Synthetic Training Advantages

► Reduces real aircraft training

► Cost-effective

► Allows conduct of high-risk training

► Reduces training risk in real aircraft

► Allows conduct of actual mission profiles

► Training is more efficient and thorough

► Standards more easily controlled


Simulator Scenarios

Typical helicopter training requirements (FAA/JAA standards):

► Conversion training 50 hours GS ; 14 hours simulator

► Recurrent 25 hours GS; 6 hours simulator

► Emergencies training

► Operational Mission training

► Reconstruction of actual accident events


Types of “Mission” Training

► Search and Rescue

► EMS

► Airlift Transport

► Offshore

► Police

► NVG

► Reconnaissance / Scout Course

► Mountain Terrain

► Confined Area operationsAll levels of training for Conversion to type, Recurrent and Mission


Fidelity of Simulation


Helicopter Training Center

► Increase crew safety in training and operations

► Provide higher fidelity of training devices through shared resources

► Provide integrated training service and curriculum

► Allow multiple crew training through networked devices

► Ensure “mission” training capabilities across range of users

► Accelerate delivery of training services

► Contractor guarantees quality of service and availability

► Future enhancements in Modeling and Simulation (M & S)

► Obsolescence covered by contractor


Helicopter Training Center

► Provision of Integrated training solution FMS’s (Ro/Ro to address multiple airframes) Reconfigurable cockpits Flight Navigation Procedures Trainers Simfinity Integrated Procedures Trainers (IPT’s) Networked devices to allow for team training Computer Aided Training System (CATS) Maintenance Trainers Instructors Distributed training

► Potential to develop training center in partnership with private enterprise (Public Private Partnership)

► Types of helicopters : ALH / B412 / Dauphin

► Type of devices to be determined based on training requirements and business case

Training – the biggest contributor to accident prevention

“For they had learned that true safety was to be found in long previous training, and not in eloquent exhortations uttered when they were going into action”.

Thucydides,'The History of the Peloponnesian War,' circa 404 BC.
