Thales Secures Helicopter Simulator Contract with Eurocopter

摘要

Thales has been selected by Eurocopter to produce a second N3 DAUPHIN flight simulator for its DAUPHIN helicopter. This simulator will be operational from 2012 at Eurocopter's South East Asia facility. The N3 DAUPHIN flight simulator has been designed to meet the training needs of Eurocopter and its civil and military customers in Southeast Asia, a market with promising growth potential for this sector. It will obtain "Flight Training Device (FTD) Level 3" and "Full Flight Simulator (FFS) Level B" approval under European and American EASA / JAA / FAA criteria, thereby providing training credits for initial training, as well as for initial and recurrent "type rating" training. The N3 DAUPHIN will also be used to provide training for more specific assignments, such as offshore operations, SAR (Search and Rescue) and EMS (Emergency Medical Services).
