The real cost of helicopter training consists of many variables but includes the hourly costs associated with fuel, maintenance and insurance. Training in simulators provides a low cost virtually risk-free alternative allowing pilots to be trained for emergencies and other dangerous real world experiences. Safety Pilot flying skills Historically a large number of serious accidents have Flight control malfunctions such as loss of control of the tail occurred when training in helicopters. Pilots and crew rotor, stuck pedals and malfunctions leading to a full down members have died or become seriously injured and expensive autorotation can be trained. Many of these malfunctions are equipment has been damaged, often beyond repair. not possible to practice in the helicopter or are considered Training in a simulator is totally safe even when practicing unsafe to practice. Instructors can also provide students with the most severe malfunctions under adverse weather a higher concentration of training tasks in a given period of conditions. Simulation based training allows for the training time than is usually possible in the helicopter. For example, of maneuvers or situations that may be impractical (or even conducting multiple instrument approaches in the actual dangerous) to perform in the helicopter, while keeping the helicopter may require significant time spent flying the pilot and instructor in a relatively low-risk environment helicopter to a position where the exercise can begin, while in on the ground. For example, electrical system failures, a simulation, as soon as one approach has been completed, instrument failures, hydraulic system failures, engine fires the instructor can immediately re -position the simulated and even flight control failures can be simulated without risk helicopter to an ideal (or less than ideal) location from which to the pilots or helicopter. to begin the next approach. Cost effectiveness Standardisation Flight simulation provides a significant economic advantage It is important for helicopter operators to ensure that all over training in an actual helicopter. Once fuel, maintenance, crews are trained to the same uniform standard when and insurance costs are taken into account, the costs of using confronted by changing weather and operational conditions. a flight simulator are usually substantially lower than the To ensure training is conducted for all crews under the same operating costs of flying the helicopter for training purposes. conditions the simulator environment can be controlled for many variable conditions including wind, visibility, daytime Regulations / night time, cloud ceiling, thunderstorms and outside air temperature. This ensures that all pilots will be trained and JAR-OPS 3.965 and Appendix 1 effectively require training assessed under the same conditions. to be conducted in a simulator if available.
